Nancy Dana underwent a stem cell transplant after being diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma. In this video, she shares 15 helpful lessons she learned about preparing for a transplant, making the hospital stay as comfortable as possible, and strategies for recovering and approaching life after transplant.
A transplant using the patient's own stem cells (an autologous stem cell transplant) or CAR T-cell therapy are treatment options for patients with certain types of lymphoma.
CAR T-cell therapy is a promising new approach for treating certain blood cancers. When undergoing this therapy, patients greatly benefit from having a caregiver who can accompany them throughout the process. This webinar explains CAR T-cell therapy and how caregivers can assist the patent through each stage of the process.
