His Dr. said that his colleague who had patients whose counts wouldn’t improve like Chris did get BMT’s, if they had full-blooded siblings.
While a full blooded sibling is not a requirement, if a patient does not have one (or more) it’s used more as a last resort. Marrow from non siblings is much harder to match and the recovery is longer and more complicated.
So Chris’ Dr. is not recommending that now. Of course worrying about something we hadn’t even been told was a recommendation was needless stress. But I’m probably bound to do that every now and then!
We’ll see how things look with his blood in a week,hopefully the prednisone works.
