IIRC, chemo is done before the bone marrow transplant... the chemotherapy kills the white blood making cells in the marrow... thus after the chemo, the transplant replaces what was lost, enabling the patient to be less immune suppressed.
That's what I thought as well, I would assume between chemo and the transplant is where the patient is most susceptible as well. Good luck for your cousin and hope it works.
