They are concerns the heavy immune suppressants at the beginning could cause a reoccurrence of the leukemia. It have been over 20 years. And there seems to be some concern over the radiation treatments for the bone marrow. The center where he was removed from the transplant list said they lost the doctor that was comfortable transplanting those with prior bone marrow transplant and my son was told to apply to where he is now practicing. Apparently this doctor was with them in Dec but had left by January.
Should the new location accept my son for transplant how can we possibly get the anonymous kidney donors to apply to the new location? The donor coordinator said she can only tell them they can apply where my son is listed but can not tell them where that might be.
