I didn't, my doctor made all the arrangements with Dr. Ash. They were wonderful. They went out of their way to help. My daughter was with me every step of the way. To save her money while I was in the hospital, they let her stay in the old nurses dorm for a minimal charge.
First thing is keep a positive attitude.
Don't let your illness get to you, take charge of your life. Have faith in God. Believe in the Doctors. When you go for the first visit bring a portable tape recorder. Also, if you know someone who has had a BMT talk to them and ask questions.
