Exclamation Age is a consideration

Hi Paula,
You didn't mention your husband's age. SCTs get more risky as you age. Excellent results below age 40, mixed up to mid-60's and poor after that. Mini-transplants best after age 60 as side effects are lower, but cure rate is lower than a full transplant.
