Blood and Marrow Transplant Information Network (BMT Infonet)

Annotation: The Blood and Marrow Transplant Information Network offers information and support services for bone marrow, blood stem cell and cord blood transplant patients. A 228-page guide entitled Bone Marrow and Blood Stem Cell Transplants: A Guide for Patients, explains what's involved in undergoing a transplant with donor bone marrow or stem cells. A second book entitled Autologous Stem Cell Transplants: A Handbook for Patients explains what's involved in undergoing a transplant using the patient's own bone marrow or blood stem cells. Other books available include Across the Chasm: A Caregiver's Story, Mira's Month (a book for children whose parent is undergoing a transplant) and Finding the Money (a guide to paying medical bills). A Patient-to-Survivor Link program puts transplant patients in touch with survivors who can provide emotional support. A free quarterly newsletter, attorney referral services, and a directory of transplant centers is also available 24/7 via the website.
