Preparations for Bone Marrow Transplant
Once the patient decides to undergo a bone marrow transplant, preparations should be done to make sure that the operation will become a success. The patient should be healthy enough prior to the operation. Several tests will be done on the patient’s organs as a basis after the transplant, whether the organs are affected by the operation. The transplant will be taken care of a team of medical practitioners, before, during and after the procedure. They will follow a program developed for the patient, and it includes emotional and psychological support for the patient and the family. The team of practitioners also develops several scenarios and the steps to be taken if any trouble arises.
