I am too old (75) Drs say I would most likely not survive the Bone Marrow transplant.
This all started after my Covid Vaccine & Booster shot (Maderna).
I just finished the Treatment for Aplastic Anemia, ATGAM treatment.
Will not know anything for 3-6 months. Hopefullu sooner but Drs say be patient, this treatment takes time. Meanwhile I take Promacta, Prednisone, Cyclosporine and two anti biotics due to low WBC, RBC and very low platelets (7-40 avg.)

@rockitman, can you get a second opinion on that verdict of not having a bone marrow transplant? An acquaintance I’m mentoring through my local Cancer center had his BMT at the age of 75, 6 months ago. He’s doing amazingly well.
He had acute myeloid leukemia, which is a very aggressive disease and his only option for a longevity was a BMT.
If you have no other co-morbidities and are in otherwise good health it would really be worth asking. What do you have to lose??
