Hi Joan,
Yes, you are welcome here. I can certainly see how all bone marrow disorders have many things in common. We learn so much from each others' experience.
I know that my husband was tested for Fanconia and Black Diamond in order to diagnose his SAA. I was surprised to find out that these genetically caused anemias could appear so late in life. I think they were pretty sure it was SAA but said if it was some gentic form of anemia, that the treatment for SAA would not be effective. We were fortunate to have a very thorough doc. I am not familiar with Schwachman-Diamond either.
What is the treatment for this? Is it usually a BMT?
Marlene
