Hi Neil, The heamatologist who is treating Annette ( my wife) seems to be on the ball . He told us after viewing blood results it was likely to be AA or MDS and ordered BMA and BMB tests . After viewing results he said it was in conclusive . He explained the BMB was very Aplastic and though he thought it was AA he wanted to wait for cytogenetic test results . To rule out Hypocellular MDS .They came back normal , with no chromosomal abnormalities .
He was happy to diagnose SAA . However he went on to say he won't be treating Annette , she will receive treatment at a larger hospital that has more experience of AA and MDS . It is also the regional centre for SCT ( both siblings have already been tested for bone marrow match) . As the the heamatologist put it he might see one case of AA every 5 years , the bigger hospital one a year . So we are waiting for an appointment at the regional hospital . Annette is receiving weekly transfusions at local hospital . So that's where we are up to . We feel Annette is getting good treatment , she just wants to get on with it now .
Cheers ASQ
