Nothing can help resolve complications like organization. The following tips can help you get organized as you take on the significant task of preparing for a stem cell transplant.
Use a daily planner or wall calendar to keep track of pre-transplant appointments, follow-up visits & medication schedules.
Write down your questions or concerns in a notebook and always bring it to medical appointments.
For post-transplant appointments, jot down your symptoms, or any changes in the way you’re feeling.
Find a family member or friend who can accompany you to medical appointments to take notes and provide emotional support.
Create a patient portal account with the hospital or transplant treatment center. This allows you to secure access to your medical information and message your healthcare team for non-urgent matters.
