During this time there will be many side effects that you will need to manage. The following tips can help you as you navigate these issues:

  • Keep a journal of all side effects – when they occur, what occurs and severity. Your transplant nurses are there to help you manage these side effects. It is critical for you to speak up to your nurses about any and all side effects you experience.
  • Monitor your temperature – anything over 100.4 requires a call to your facility.
