Is prednisone always part of the post-transplant protocol? My understanding is that with ATG it is given to protect against serum sickness, but what is its role with BMT, and why must it be continued for such a long time?
Just curious (this would be a big stumbling block if Ken ever went to transplant, as he can't tolerate the side effects).
