Overview of Transplant

Providing the Best Effort


In the final analysis, when your transplant physician recommends a stem cell transplant to you, that recommendation says that not only is this treatment your best chance for long-term survival but that our entire B&MT team is fully committed to making the transplant work for you.

By the same token, our recommendation is a statement that we think you can make it; that not only is your disease potentially curable, but that psychologically, mentally, spiritually, you have the "right stuff" to make it, even when the going gets tough. We would regard the agreement to proceed with a stem cell transplant as a mutual covenant between the patient and the B&MT team to provide the very best effort at all times to give the best chance for success.
