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.
