Patient's question:
A friend is going to have a bone marrow transplant. They have already found a suitable match. How long can someone live after a bone marrow transplant?Doctor's answer:
If your friend is going to undergo a bone marrow transplant and has found a suitable match, then the specific duration of their life will mainly depend on how the transplanted bone marrow reacts and the effectiveness of the anti-rejection medication after taking it. If, after taking the anti-rejection medication, the reaction to the transplanted bone marrow is very weak, then the bone marrow can fully recover its function of relief, and the survival rate will be greatly enhanced.
