Abstract
Bone marrow transplantation often necessitates relocation to a tertiary care hospital in a distant location. For child, family, and caregivers this adds to the stress implicit in the transplantation. The value of communication between centers and disciplines is illustrated. Psychological issues and interventions are described for each treatment stage.Keywords
