Don’t play around with the prevention stuff like breathing exercises and mouth washes
Forgot about this. When your appetite already sucks, you don’t need thrush/esophagitis making things worse. Use nystatin/magic mouthwash regularly. And make sure to swish and swallow (that’s what she said) to prevent esophagitis, and not swish and spit.
Don’t forget to get immunizations when recommended by your oncologist. Not trying to start a covid pissing match, talking about tetanus/mmr/etc. And make sure family doesn’t take the intranasal flu vaccine just before transplant. Injection is fine.

Thanks everyone for sharing, its been real helpful. I'm going to the bone marrow doc tomorrow for what I presume will be to set everything up. I'll chime back in when I know for sure whats going to happen and when. I'm assuming it'll be the week of the 17th because that's when I'm seeing an appt for 6am labled "admission" but has no details to it.
