Questions about Mini Transplant
Hello all,
I am newly diagnosed with AA one year postpartum.
Red count was lowest at 3. There is hardly any marrow working.
Luckily my brother is a match and I am waiting for a mini transplant at Johns Hopkins.
But here is the question, I have a total body irradiation scheduled the day before day 0. Is that something normal? Should I get out of it?
Fertility is second most important to be, first of course I need to be alive and survive this BMT.
Anyone who has done this before that did or did not do the TBI? How's the outcome? Anyone who had mini transplant and has any issue carrying a child?
Any help is great help! Thank you all in advance for helping.
