from Conversations with Kathy's House · host Gerry Steele is a Kathy’s House ally and healthcare communication professional. For more than a decade, she's had the privilege to share the experiences of individuals going through life-changing medical journeys and learn from their courage and wisdom.
Receiving a life saving bone marrow transplant usually means having to be hospitalized for months. For a few fortunate enough to live within 30 minutes of a major cancer center, bone marrow transplants can sometimes be performed on an outpatient basis, meaning a person can go home each night to their own bed, their family, their pets, their favorite cozy chair, in their own backyard. Because of Kathy's House, this option is now within reach for many more people who don't live close to their cancer care. Tammy, along with her husband Al, share their experience as guests at Kathy's House while she received an "outpatient" bone marrow transplant at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin Cancer Center.
