Engraftment,or the successful take of transplanted cells,takes anywhere from 8 to 28 days,depending on the type of cell transplantation.For donated marrow or stem cells to work,the client will require large doses of chemotherapy before transplantation.The client will not require radiation after the transplant.Transplanted marrow is delivered intravenously.It is not placed into any bone.The client is at risk for infection until the bone marrow begins to produce white blood cells.Therefore visitors should be limited to prevent infection to the client.
