How easy & hurtless is Bone Marrow Transplant

Hi, the forum people. I am really going mad at the easiness at which the doctors are treating the cancer patient and at the easiness of the person who donates the Bone marrow. Is is less painful than a salain administartion? How on the earth they are extracting the bone marrow from Ansh which is not even painful for few hours and how are they administering it to Prashant who just walks out of the OT and drive for hours. Are the doctor treating him with bone marrow OR giving him some Amritha which will heal him instantly. I have heard it a painful process. But here both teh doner and the patient looks healthy and heil immediately after the transplant. Are the patients allowed to go out immediately after the process? What are they trying to show here? Just to bring out the divorce issue in public why are they trying this abnormal track?

very good post ,seriously no idea about this.

Yeah, you are right. BMT is not just like tetanus injection that u go and it's done. Here the patient is driving a three hour road distance after BMT.

Serial World My Friend.

I checked above mentioned site it says donor can be okay after 24-48 hours

it also says :

A two- to four-week waiting period follows the marrow transplant before its success can begin to be judged. The marrow recipient is kept in isolation during this time to minimize potential infections. The recipient also receives intravenous antibiotic, antiviral, and antifungal medications, as well as blood and platelet transfusions to help fight off infection and prevent excessive bleeding. Blood tests are performed daily to monitor the patient's kidney and liver function, as well as nutritional status. Other tests are performed as necessary. Further side effects, such as nausea and vomiting, can be treated with other medications. Once blood counts are normal and the side effects of the transplant abate, the recipient is taken off antibiotics and usually no longer needs blood and platelet transfusions.

Following discharge from the hospital , the recipient is monitored through home visits by nurses or outpatient visits for up to a year. For the first several months out of the hospital, the recipient needs to be careful in avoiding potential infections. For example, contact with other people who may be ill should be avoided or kept to a minimum. Further blood transfusions and medications may be necessary, but barring complications, the recipient can return to normal activities about six to eight months after the transplant.

it is different than what Cvs are showing to us but it is serial world so forget logic and enjoy what is being shown

Lol...It's illogical coz i had a cousin who had leukemia and had to undergo BMT...It was a painful process and very draining..she suffered a lot and initially there was no improvement and people thought it was a failure but after a few weeks when her body accepted the BM she showed improvement. She had to undergo treatment for years before she became ok...
