Resources & Support

The National Bone Marrow Transplant Link is dedicated to helping individuals and their families from diagnosis through survivorship. We work with hospitals, cancer centers, and other organizations to reinforce and complement medical care.

The nbmtLINK offers a number of unique resources to meet your needs:

Select publications are available online for you to read, download, or print out for free. If you would like hard copies, you may order any of the booklets for a small charge. Our webcasts contain helpful information on topics such as caregiving for a bone marrow transplant patient and chronic Graft Versus Host Disease in children and adults. If you still have not found the information you need, please feel free to contact our staff with any questions.

Celebrate Your Second Birthday!

Contact the nbmtLINK at info@nbmtlink to receive a specially designed card that recognizes you and your caregiver on your transplant anniversary. Since survivorship issues, both physical and emotional, often continue for years after transplant, this program focuses attention on the ongoing needs of BMT survivors and their caregivers, creating a community that understands the importance of this “second birthday.” If you or someone you love would like to be recognized, please contact Cindy Burke at 800-546-5268 or email cindyburke@nbmtlink.org

nbmtLink Peer Support
 
Peer Support for Patients and Caregivers

Reassurance, Understanding, and Support When You Need Them the Most.

“Peer Support on Call Program” is a free service offered by the National Bone Marrow Transplant Link. Emotional support is available through one-on-one conversations with trained peer support volunteers who are bone marrow/stem cell transplant survivors, caregivers and marrow donors. Since they have been through the transplant experience themselves, they understand the patient’s and caregiver’s feelings and can provide an empathetic point of view. For patients and caregivers, peer support is only a phone call away. If you would like to request a phone call from a peer support volunteer, please click here or call our office at 800-LINK-BMT (800-546-5268).
