Focusing on Your Inner Strength


The two to three weeks during which you will be in protective care can be a very stressful period. It is important for you to know that most patients go through periods of being bored, lonely, frightened, anxious, or depressed. Many patients experience anxiety as they await engraftment. Our transplant unit staff recognizes the need to assist you and your family during this time.

Your family and friends can serve as a powerful influence as they help you focus on your own inner strength to make it through each day.
