Hi Charles,
I'm a 25 year old female from New Zealand. I was diagnosed with severe aplastic anaemia last year around Christmas, however it took my Drs 2 months of testing to confirm. I had a sibling transplant on January 18 this year using equine ATG, cyclophosphamide and am now on cyclosporin. I would be happy to discuss my experience with you- I completely understand the frustrations at losing fitness, a social life and just being a regular young adult! My transplant went REALLY well- I was very lucky in that I suffered minimal side effects from all the meds. I spent 3 1/2 week in an isolation ward- I had been advised I could be there for 5-8 weeks so my discharge and recovery were considered super speedy!
Where are you located? I'm happy to answer any questions you might have!
