Thank you for your reply.
It's actually my hematalogist who feels that the BMT is my only option-the BMT specialist is holding back on the diagnosis.
My hematologist has seen me hospitalized over and over with repeated sepsis because my WBC is so low- this then triggers my autoimmune blood disorder.
My plt, hgb and wbc are low and both BMB's have shown some type of bone marrow failure, they just can't seem to pinpoint exactly what it is, MDS,AA or hypoplastic MDS.
The doctors have talked to each other- it's just that one feels it's necessary to keep doing BMB's when the other one feels like the end result will be the same- a BMT.
My hematologist locally is the one who has to deal with my repeated hospitalizations so I guess she feels more pressure to actually do something.
I guess the good news is that I have two doctors that I like and respect.
Thanks again for your reply. This forum is wonderful!
