Treatment for AA

Pete;
First of all - welcome to the Forum. This is a wonderful place to share and learn.
Secondly - speaking as an RN - are there no hospital is Sydney that have better treatment options? Of course - we would welcome you to the states - but as a precaution - I would do an online search to make sure your insurance covers the cost of treatment. St. Jude's Hospital is a wonderful cancer facility for Pediatrics - and here in the states - Peds is considered to be up to the age of 18 and in some states 21 years old. In my opinion, I would check it out first if you are seriously considering coming stateside for treatment.
Make sure you check out the AA/MDS Foundation website - there is a lot of material there to learn.
I wish you all the best of luck in whatever direction you should take.

Beth
