Hello Dave,
I hope that you have managed to get some answers to your questions. It must be a fairly new thing being proposed, as I suspect that they are trying to avoid having clinically vulnerable people spending a couple of weeks in hospital, if at all possible. My husband’s consultant proposed this very option to us this morning, although I gather that in the first instance there will be an appointment to talk it through with the SCT department. He is not quite ready for it at the moment, and we were told the actual treatment (if he decides to go ahead) would be early next year.
We are in a less complicated situation as our children are adults and don’t live near us. It must be very hard for your wife and children, trying to keep everyone safe.
Hope that it all goes to plan.
Lili
