Thanks for your reply. The doctor just told us that getting 2nd transplant would be too risky for him and said that he will keep on receiving blood transfusions until his blood cells will normalize. Im afraid of the iron overload and some other complications of long term blood transfusions. He has this nasty pneumonia right now as a result of frequent BT.

With regards to his blood cells, most of the time it's his WBC and platelets are low but just recently his RBC went down as well.

I think the doctor that he has is quite experienced but now we are thinking of looking for some other opinions as well but really dont know where to start...
