Recovery

Recovery from transplant occurs on many levels. Physically, you will be recovering from the effects of chemotherapy. Psychologically and socially, you will begin to make strides towards returning to a normal routine. During the recovery process you will be closely monitored to assess your general physical and emotional health, and to determine how your disease has responded to the transplant. The recovery process may seem slow, but you need to give your body a chance to recover. The Rocky Mountain Blood and Marrow Transplant Program’s Long Term Follow-Up Program will track your recovery on all levels and will provide resources and support to help you during this process.

The type of transplant you receive (autologous versus allogeneic) influences the length of your recovery and the experiences you have during the recovery process.
