my younger 12 yrs brother has ALL,doctor has advised for BMT after 1 week chemo induction saying it as a case of poor steroid response.a matched donor is available.when can we expect the procedure to take place? or will he continue the rest chemo of induction phase?
Welcome to H.C.M. I am Dr Krishna Dubey. ALL is a most common leukemia found in children.Your consulting doctor is going in right way.After induction therapy your doctor will do B.M.T. It is very nice and that you got matched donor. B.M.T has very good results so wait for finishing of induction phase chemotherapy. Thanx and All the best.
Hi, dear I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Treatment of choice for ALL patient is bone marrowtransplantation. You can go for it any time. If HLA matched donor is available then he should go for bone marrow transplantation as early as possible.
