My husband had some teeth pulled and redone before his upcoming transplant. He went to a dentist the transplant team recommended (as he was used to pts w low counts) and he was given platelets the day before. (his platelets sit around 28 normally ) They transfuse him at 9 but just to be safe)
It is important to have dental work done before transplant to deal w any
Bacteria/decay. So no worries! Sounds like he's in good hands
I met a woman on bmtsupport.org last night who had a sibling half match in her 40's in 2011. She is doing very well and no GVHD! This seems to be newer technology so it's an other reason to believe he is at a great place!
Best of luck!
