This episode is part three of the story of my HSCT experience. I continue to take you on the journey of my HSCT experience and tell you my results so far 1 year past my procedure.
Below I am listing locations where HSCT is available as of now.
Stay strong and stay safe!!
HSCT (Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation) attempts to “reboot” the immune system, which is responsible for damaging the brain and spinal cord in MS. In HSCT for MS, hematopoietic (blood cell-producing) stem cells, which are derived from a person’s own (“autologous”) bone marrow or blood, are collected and stored, and the rest of the individual’s immune cells are depleted by chemotherapy. Then the stored hematopoietic stem cells are reintroduced to the body. The new stem cells migrate to the bone marrow and, over time, produce new white blood cells. Eventually, they repopulate the body with immune cells.
