Maybe some people have different norms?
Anybody ever wonder if some people just have different norms? My sons BMB has him at 20% production, so they want to start ATG. But what if thats the way his body has always been? He has almost no symptoms - no fatigue, weight loss, bleeding... Are they jumping the gun in treating him? Their argument is it's easier to treat when they're younger and relatively healthy. But what if we wait and see what happens? He could be like this for, um, five years? Then treatment options I'm sure will be a whole nuther ballgame.
Does Western medicine promote too aggressive of treatment? Do other countries have a 'wait and see' approach'?
I don't want him to be the Guinea pig. It's just in the back of my mind. Any thoughts?
