Preparing for hospital isolation

Isolation Chat

Hi everyone,

I wanted to let you know that we have an updated patient resource available to download and order for free through our website.

Many patients find the time immediately after their stem cell transplant the hardest, when you must spend weeks (or sometimes months) in protective isolation in hospital while your brand new immune system develops.
Our updated ‘Preparing for Hospital Isolation’ guide explains what will happen and why, and shares plenty of advice from other patients on how to get through it.

If you’d like to order the guide, take a look at our publications page:

We hope you find it helpful.

Best wishes,

Caroline (Patient & Family Engagement Coordinator)

I was isolated for months in hospital but shared a room with a fellow patient.
What helped me was mindful self compassion as a topic I researched and meditations and seminars all online free downloadable, no need to pay anything for it.
This is a ted talk kristin neff (an expert) gave, just as an intro to the topic… as a general idea. It helped me to accept things and that helped get through it, with nurses who weren’t always the most understanding.

I’m with you in spirit if you’re in it now.
