Now they are not sure what it is....

Thanks everyone for your input. Mom was released from the hospital today while they wait for the meds to arrive. In the meantime, her doctor emailed me to say that she is still waiting for the final molecular tests on her bone marrow sample. There is a possibility that if those are abnormal then she would have hypoplastic myelodysplastic syndrome which is similar to aplastic anemia. However, in that case, a bone marrow transplant may be an option. If she is not a candidate for transplant, then ATG can be used. So until those results are back, the ATG infusion will not be started.

My Mom is quite distressed, I'm sure she just wants to know one way or another and it's been a bit of rollercoaster ride to learn all this in the two weeks.

So now it's wait and see. I don't know about the mini transplant, my Mom has had some really serious medical issues this past year and is not in the best shape.

I guess we just wait and see.

Thanks again!

Lianne
