If you have undergone a bone marrow or stem cell transplant to treat your cancer, you will find yourself in a new stage of life after treatment. Adult transplant survivors will begin a long-term follow-up program to maintain and improve health, and to care for present and future physical and emotional needs.
The Survivorship Program at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) offers treatment, support, and education to adult bone marrow or stem cell transplant survivors. These conditions can include various types of leukemia, Hodgkin disease and non-Hodgkin lymphomas, myelodysplasia, multiple myeloma, myelofibrosis, breast cancer, and renal cell carcinoma.
Many adult transplant survivors face particular issues in the years following treatment, including concerns about graft vs. host disease and other long term health-related issues.
The Long-Term Follow-Up (LTFU) program at SCCA provides life long monitoring and care of patients following a bone marrow or stem cell transplant. At your appointment with LTFU, you will be given a thorough screening and health evaluation by our medical staff. You will leave with a treatment summary that lists all of your treatment, all medical information that is pertinent to your diagnosis, and any late effects you may experience. This treatment summary will have recommendations for you and your healthcare provider to keep you as healthy and as informed as possible.
