relapse, 2nd ATG, when do they look for BMT match
My son began to relapse about a month ago and after a bone marrow biopsy the doctors decided to do a second round of ATG over a 4 day period. They are repeating horse again. My question is when should they begin to look for a donor for a BMT. Trevor is 24 and this is the second round of ATG in less then 2 years. Since he is biracial I know his chances of finding a match are lower so do you start looking sooner or does one have nothing to do with the other. I'm concerned this 2nd round isn't going to fix this and want to pursue other options as back up..
