Hear Voices of Hope and Healing with New Online Audio!
It makes a difference to patients and their families to hear firsthand how transplants have affected the lives of others and how survivors make it through the many challenges to create a rich, rewarding, post-transplant life. Special thanks to Char DeWolf, Sue Markx, and Stewart Francke, who generously donated their time and talent to this project! Pulled from our popular Voices of Hope and healing booklet, the audio may be accessed on our website or by clicking here. |

Are you an adult who has had an allogeneic transplant, or are you the caregiver of someone who has undergone this treatment?
Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are preparing to develop resources to help adult allogeneic stem cell transplant recipients and their caregivers. Their goal is to make post-transplant recovery easier and less stressful, and to help people get back to normal after transplant. They have developed a brief survey that asks transplant recipients and caregivers to provide feedback on the biggest challenges to having a healthy recovery after hospital discharge. They also want to know what kinds of resources would make recovery easier and less stressful. If you would be willing to provide feedback on these issues, please click on the link below. It will take you to the survey, which will take 10-15 minutes to complete. Your responses will be completely anonymous. If you have any questions, please contact Christine Rini at 919-843-6580 or christine.rini@unc.edu.
