Lab Results Post Bone Marrow/Stem Cell Transplant: What to Expect and Why They Are So Important

This month’s call-in Lunch & Learn program will focus on lab results post-transplant. Phyllis McKiernan, APN, MSN, OCN, Advanced Practice Nurse in the Blood and Marrow Stem Division at the John Theurer Cancer Center will cover why these tests are so important to survivorship, including how these results help to track progress posttransplant, and guide adjustments to necessary medications. Phyllis will educate us regarding the importance of monitoring chimerism studies, viral reactivation, vital organ function and much more. As well, Mendya Griffith, a survivor of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) from Augusta, Georgia will share her story and experience in understanding lab results and more. Jennifer Gillette, LMSW on staff, will host the program. There will be time for questions as well.
