Hi, our consultant said that her biopsy showed no improvement what so ever, so he now thinks it unlikely she will respond to the atg so wants to get the search underway now.
Yesterday was a shock even though I knew in my mind she hadn't got any better, the time between transfusions are still the same, it's like she's no better, or worse.
On reflection I'm starting to wonder if a transplant might just be the better option as it allowed seems inevitable in the end.
I've read a lot about transplants and what happens, but my consultant hasn't really told the risks or success rates, he just said wait to meet the transplant co-ordinater, but it's fustrating as I have a million questions racing through my brain, and the thought of the chemo and her losing her hair upsets me, even though I know I shoudnt be worrying about that compared to the bigger picture, but she will find it hard, but I feel confident she will win this fight she's a tough little thing, even with hb at 6 shes still running around!
