A Fair Chance
We are calling for the NHS to make second stem cell transplants available for people with blood cancer, on the basis of individual circumstances instead of arbitrary timelines. Sign the petition to urge the UK Government to fund second transplants based on clinical need.

Recovering from CAR T-cell therapy
CAR T-cell therapy recovery comes with its own challenges. This information will explain what you can expect, focusing on side effects and how to support your own recovery.
Having CAR T-cell therapy
There are a few stages when you have CAR T-cell therapy. In this information, we’ll explain each of these stages so you know exactly what to expect.
Preparing for CAR T-cell therapy

Prehabilitation (prehab) and stem cell transplant
Prehabilitation (prehab) is an important part of preparing for your stem cell transplant or CAR T-cell therapy. Your hospital might work with you through their own prehab programme, or you might have to be a bit more independent with your prehab — with support from your medical team and Anthony Nolan.
Fertility and stem cell transplant
Fertility is your ability to get pregnant or get someone else pregnant. Having a stem cell transplant might affect your fertility. This can feel really hard to process when the transplant itself is already a lot to cope with. On this page, we'll explain how it might affect fertility, alternative options to consider and where to look for support.
