About this listen

 In this episode of Thrive!, we take a closer look at life after an allogeneic stem cell transplant — a transplant that uses donor cells — and the long-term health considerations that can emerge months or even years after treatment. Guided by Dr. John McCarty, Medical Director of the Cellular Immunotherapy and Transplant Program at Virginia Commonwealth University’s Massey Cancer Center, this Deep Dive explores what “late effects” really means, why long-term follow-up care can extend for years, and how survivors can better understand the role of monitoring, prevention, and communication in protecting long-term health. From immune system recovery and bone health to heart, lung, cognitive, and quality-of-life changes, this episode offers a grounded look at survivorship beyond the hospital stay. In this week’s news update, we examine recent research reviewed in The Washington Post exploring whether dietary supplements help prevent cancer — and what large clinical trials have actually shown. We also highlight BMT InfoNet’s GVHD Support Groups for transplant survivors, a resource designed to offer connection and guidance for those living with graft-versus-host disease. — SHOW NOTES News Article What Science Says About Cancer and Supplements https://www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/2026/02/02/can-supplements-reduce-cancer-risk/ BMT InfoNet Resource GVHD Support Groups for Survivors https://bmtinfonet.org/support-group-list Watch Dr. John McCarty’s full presentation Limiting Late Effects Following a Transplant Using Donor Cells (Allogeneic) https://bmtinfonet.org/archived-video/limiting-late-effects-following-transplant-using-donor-cells-allogeneic Join the BMT InfoNet Facebook Community https://www.facebook.com/bonemarrowstemcelltransplantclub Email us thrive@bmtinfonet.org — CHAPTER MARKERS 00:00 Welcome! 00:54 Updates - Small Movements, Meaningful Impact 02:54 A Quick Note 04:02 Something That May Help - GVHD Adult Support Groups 05:27 Deep Dive - Cold Open 06:43 Deep Dive - Your Health After An Allogeneic Transplant 08:11 Deep Dive - What Is An Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant? 10:12 Deep Dive - The Importance of Long Term Follow-Up 11:55 Deep Dive - How To Reduce Long Term Risks 14:40 Deep Dive - Quality of Life 17:07 Deep Dive - What To Know About New Cancers After Transplant 18:48 Deep Dive - Living Well After Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant 22:03 Deep Dive - Takeaways 23:19 One Last Thought — Links were active at the time of publication.
