About the nbmtLink
The mission of the nbmtLINK is to help patients, as well as their caregivers, families, and the health care community, meet the many challenges of bone marrow/stem cell transplant by providing vital information and support services. The nbmtLINK’s web site includes the organization’s original publications that are downloadable, free of charge. Please take time to browse through these publications and print them out if you'd like. Or, if you want hard copies of the booklets, for a nominal charge you may order them online or by calling our office at 800-546-5268 or 248-358-1886.
Please note: We now use the term “Stem Cell Transplant” instead of “Bone Marrow Transplant,” which is a more accurate description of the transplant process. Originally, the procedure was called a bone marrow transplant because direct collection from the bone marrow was the first source of stem cells. Today, stem cell sources also include the peripheral (circulating) blood and cord blood collected from the placenta following the birth of a baby. All cells used in transplant are stem cells, regardless of their source. No embryonic cells are used.
