Yes, she was very correct. The three main things that I learned were important to ask about were survival rates, rate of GVHD, and rate of rejection. Transplants for AA have high rejection and GVHD rates. That is one of the reasons why I did a trial that my hospital had. They have found if you use Campath instead of ATG it reduces the risk of rejection and GVHD. I decided to do the trial and I am so very thankful I did. If I would go back in time, I would do it all over again. I received Campath, Cytoxan, and Radiation for my conditioning. I also used Prograf instead of CSA.
