Newsletters

Starting in November 2017, the BMT Long-term Follow-up Study is sending a newsletter – Life After BMT by mail to the survivors and siblings who have participated in the BMT Long-term Follow-up Study. Life After BMT shares information about our research findings and aims to update participants on the study’s progress. The newsletter will be mailed out biannually and is currently being mailed to the address we have on-file for our participants who have completed the questionnaire.
