2 1/2 yr old will be getting BMT
« on: November 18, 2012, 03:44:55 PM »
Hi guys,

I posted questions a while ago regarding a BMT for my 2 yr old.  We have decided to go forward with this decision.  If you would like to join his journey (if you are curious of the process), you can "like" his update page on Facebook. I would love other Thal patients see this process and see his updates.

This has been one of the hardest decisions that my husband and I have ever had to make.  Every day I'm thinking about what could go wrong but also thinking of the amazing feeling it will be if Cameron is cured.

:)

As a side note, 2 of my closest relatives did BMT in India, both around an year ago, of which one is 12 years old and other is also 9-10 years old, and a year has passed and both are now good and healthy.

BMT is showing significant quality increase as time passes. :)

Every child is special.

Hi Pratik,

Where did your close relatives get their BMT dine in India? At what age did they get their BMT done?
