Successful BMT

My wife had a BMT in January this year. She waited 6 months after trying the ATG Rabbit, and IVIG. It was the best and last option for us. There are drug trials (High Dose Cytoxan, among others) that may be an option, however, the process was not very much different than the BMT, nor were the side effects.

My wife has been very successful with her BMT, and has not required a transfusion since she was released from the hospital. If you have found a good match, it worth looking into it. Make sure you have a good support system, and prepare ahead. We had to make a lot of adjustments, and honestly, we still do.

Best of luck
