Fatigue

We hope you find our podcast helpful and interesting. Find out how to listen.

‘Before, During, After’ is our quarterly e-newsletter for stem cell transplant patients and their families.

We're here to help before, during and after your stem cell transplant or CAR T-cell therapy

Sex is often a big part of our lives, whether we’re comfortable admitting it or not. It provides pleasure, releases stress, and can help to create a deeper intimacy with a partner.

Nobody expects you to deal with everything alone during recovery. On this page, we explain how you can find mental health support from people around you, as well as from charities, organisations and medical professionals.

Being away from the security of the hospital might bring up feelings of helplessness and anxiety. On this page, we share advice on managing these feelings, getting in control of your recovery and maybe even trying something new after a stem cell transplant.

Changes to our bodies are an important part of recovery, but the way we see these changes can mean different things to different people. On this page, we explore the idea of body image and how it might relate to your mental wellbeing.

One of the most common side effects after a stem cell transplant is infection. It is an expected part of recovery but can also be challenging.

Fatigue can be a short-term effect that improves after a few months, but some patients still experience it more than a year after their transplant.
