What's in this section?
Learning as much as you can about stem cell transplants can empower you and help build your confidence to tackle the situation head-on.
This section will help you to:
- understand what stem cells are and why they are so important
- find out about the different types of stem cell transplants you can have
- get information on how we search our register for stem cell donors
- learn about the possible alternatives if a donor can’t be found straight away
- know about your other options in the rare circumstance that funding for a transplant isn’t available at first.
It’s almost impossible to try to understand everything all at once. Whether it's pre-transplant, during the transplant or six months post-transplant, we focus on just that time and then hopefully it’s not so daunting.
