What is the recovery period of bone marrow transplant?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

30-100 days?: After you receive a bone marrow or cord blood transplant (also called a bmt), your doctors will watch your health carefully. Especially during the first 100 days after your transplant, you are at risk for complications. You and your transplant team can take steps to prevent some of these problems. Your doctor will work quickly to treat complications that do occur.

It depends what you: Mean by recovery. Recovery takes many forms after a stem cell transplant. Neutrophil recovery tends to preceed platelet recovery. There are other issues thatnaffect recovery, such as the nature of the prep regimen, the stem cell dose, auto vs unrelated donor, the degree of immune suppression required to maintain the graft, etc. Work closely with your transplant docs during this period of recovery.
