AA dx 2009, now need BMT
Short story I'm 29 dx with AA in 2009, was treated in 09 with horse AtG & cyclosporine weaned off in 6 mns was good for about 1yr then relapsed treated with rabbit ATG n cyclosporine was good for 2 yrs got pregnant ant relapsed late in my pregnant in 2013. So for the past yr the docs were hoping it was pregnancy related n treated me with prednisone & cyclosporine. Since Mar. My counts started falling again this time besides hemoglobin , plalets too. My WBC are always good, I've been ruled out for any other dieases, with many labs & biopsies. Now I'm getting HLA typed for a bone marrow
Transplant, I always new one day I might need it but now it's more real & I'm scared. I'm worried I won't find a donor cause I'm mixed race, no sibilings, & I'm very worried about complications. Does everyone get graft vs host?im worried about complications going into it and coming out. any AA survivors with BMT or anyone advice needed ok May just some reassurance
