I'm the caregiver for my wife. She was treated with ATG for AA, and 2 years later had an unrelated-donor transplant for MDS. Her siblings matched each other but not her. She is now doing fine.
Being young and otherwise healthy increases your odds of success for any treatment approach you choose. The positive attitude of your family will pay off too.
Aren't you glad you went to that doctor over those seemingly minor symptoms? Many patients have been shocked to learn they were facing bone marrow failure after getting routines checkups. Diseases like these can put a big dent in your plans, at least temporarily, but I know from my own experience that you can fight back and get past the roadblocks. A bit of luck never hurts, but self-education and good medical care are key as well.
