I've often thought my bone marrow problem was autoimmune but my haematologist says that he has discounted it.
My brother has Lupus and I vary between having a positive and negative ANA. I was thinking of asking to be referred to an Immunologist just for another opinion. I also am under 60 with a hypocellular bone marrow.
At the moment my treatment consists of transfusions only and I would love to have some treatment aimed at cure rather than maintainance.
This sounds hopeful.
