If you have had an inpatient stem cell transplant, the following steps will occur as you prepare to be discharged from the transplant center or hospital:
The inpatient team will review your lab results daily.
When your white blood cell (WBC) count starts to increase, the transplant team will start talking with you about hospital discharge.
Your primary nurse on the unit will plan with you when your discharge class will be held, usually a few days before discharge. Your caregiver will also need to attend this class.
Please be sure to arrange transportation for discharge. This is an important role for your caregiver.
