The web Directory of Information Materials for People Affected by Cancer is regularly updated and currently has details of over 1,900 booklets, leaflets, books and audiovisual materials for people affected by cancer. Most have been published in the last five years but we have included some older ones that are still useful.

This booklet is for anyone with a child who needs a stem cell transplant (sometimes also called a bone marrow transplant). It will help you understand why they need one, what will happen to them and how to look after them as they recover. It will also help you answer any questions your child might have about what they’re going through. It is a supplement to our children’s activity books: Going to hospital for my stem cell transplant; Having my stem cell transplant; and Coming home after my stem cell transplant.

One of the most common side effects after a stem cell transplant is infection and although it is an expected part of recovery, it can also be challenging. This booklet highlights when you might get infections, the symptoms to look out for and how infections are treated as well as how to look after yourself and prevent infections in both your short and long term recovery.

Having a stem cell transplant is a life-changing event. Dealing with the treatment and its impact on your everyday life can be a challenge. This guide aims to help you learn more about diet and physical activity after a transplant. All the tips are based on ideas that other patients and health professionals have told us can be useful. If you are preparing for a transplant, this leaflet is designed to help you learn more about what to expect and how you can help yourself after transplant.
