Unrelated Bone Marrow Transplant.

Dear Omega

My heart goes with you.  I hope that she will recover soon and there will be no more side effects.  I will pray for your daughter . Believe me you will forget all your stress when she jumps from her bed and you see her playing healthy and safly again

Take care of her and yourself

Manal

Omega,

Your daughter has made good progress and continues to improve. That's great news! 

The immune system is suppressed for a BMT and it is slowly restored. Right now, it is very important to protect against exposure to any infections, as her immune system is very weak.

Khalifa will agree with you about the stress involved. Deciding on a BMT for your child and then watching the slow recovery process provide more stress than any parents needs. Our hearts go out to you. 

Hi All

Greeting from Malaysia!

My daughter's blood count has stabalized for the past few weeks. White blood count 4000, Hb 14.1 and Platelet is around 76000. We are going to the hospital tomorrow for a blood count. Hope we'll get a good result.

The doctor is reducing the drugs gradually to ensure that the GVHD is under proper control. We schedule to go to Subang Medical Centre to meet up with our transplant doctor on 18th December for a follow up consultation.

Thank you.

Great News! Hope that the Counts tomorrow are normal!

Take Care!

Dear omega

Hope everything will be fine. Please keep us updated.

Take care

Hope to hear from u soon   ....be goin back to see the doc in SJMC   on the   18  Jan 2007  .

Hi Steven,
I presume you're seeing Dr Lin. My daughter is fine now and we're reducing the drugs and pray hard that the GVHD would not come back. Her blood count is ok but we're hoping the white blood count would reach the normal level soon. In an Unrelated transplant case, the GVHD is a major problem indeed.
Do you plan for 2 transplant for your daughter? If yes, gate you found a matched bone marrow or cord blood?
Our next appointment is on 15 March 07 to see Dr Lin. We hope everything would be fine by then.
Should you need more info, please let me know.
Thank you.

Dear Khalifa
Thank you for your kind advice and we highly appreciate it.
Since your son is a sibling transplant, the GVHD should be of the milder one, unlike the unrelated case. Is your son still taking any anti GVHD drugs now?
Thank you.

Dear omega

Hi Khalifa
My daughter's transplant was on 12 Apr 2006. Her bone marrow donar was from Taiwan. Her blood count is ok except the white count is fluctuating. Do you gate the same experience?
Thank you.
