What Questions do I ask the BMT Dr.

My son has SVAA and began treatment 3/11 on ATG and Cyclosporin. His cellularity at time of dx was 4% and his ANC was .01. all other numbers on the floor as well. After ATG he started on 350 mg of cyclosporin 2x/day and in May they dropped the dose to 350 1x/day. Not sure why the significant drop but he seems to be doing better. He was recieving transfusion for the first 3 months but stopped them a few weeks ago. Trevor is in prison so he has been told if he needed a BMT he would not get one because of the community enviroment. That being said, he was told he is seeing the BMT doctor this week vs. the Hemotologist he sees at the clinic. We don't know why he would be seeing him but wanted to give Trev questions to ask him so he gets a clear picture of his situation. The only info Trev has ever recieved was his CBC counts. They are checking his peek and trough levels in 2 weeks.


Since they already said they won't give him a BMT why would BMT dr. be seeing him? Good quesitons to ask would be apprieciated.
