Securing a Bed If you are referred to a particular transplant center, you will usually have to go to the facility for a "transplant interview." The center has to decide whether you are a good candidate for the treatment. You have to decide whether you feel comfortable undergoing treatment at that center.
Once this decision has been jointly made, there will be other decisions such as whether more "traditional" therapy might be done to improve the chance for success. An allogeneic donor may have to be found or stem cells will have to be taken and stored for an autotransplant. Then it will be necessary to secure a bed in the transplant unit. Keep in mind that some centers have long waiting lists. Once a bed has been secured, you enter the hospital and begin therapy.
