Receiving a stem cell transplant without a primary caregiver can feel daunting. The following recommendations can make it easier. 

Build a Support System

• Even without a full-time caregiver, you are not alone.
• Identify family, friends, or community members who can assist with daily tasks.
• Consider in-home support services, which are covered by some insurance plans.
• Minimize the number of people providing support to reduce coordination challenges.

Protect Your Financial & Legal Interests

• Ensure financial stability by setting up bill payments in advance.
• Be cautious about major financial decisions while in recovery.
• Prepare advanced healthcare directives and a living will, ensuring medical preferences are honored.
