Hello Lenie,

Welcome to Cancer Chat.

I thought I'd stop by to share some information from our website about stem cell procedures. I know it's not what you asked, specifically, but it does give a rough idea of the timelines required for growth factor injections prior to collection. I'm afraid I can't say whether your health team would want you to go straight into this, or if you'd be able to take a week's break. I think the best bet would be to have a chat with them and see what they think. 

We also have a team of nurses on-hand if you have any further questions (0808 800 4040), although it does sound like your doctor might be the best first port of call to talk timings. 

Hopefully, another member who has experience of the procedures will be along soon to share their thoughts, and this reply bumps you up the list a bit. 

Wishing you all the best with your treatment,

Helen
