If you have had a 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 on a daily basis.
• When your white blood cell (WBC) count starts to increase, the transplant team will start to talk with you about discharge from the hospital.
• Your primary nurse on the unit will plan with you when your discharge class will be held, usually a few days prior to discharge. Your caregiver will also need to attend this class.
• Please be sure to arrange discharge transportation on your day of discharge. This is an important role for your caregiver.
