Patient's question:
A relative's child has been diagnosed with leukemia, and their family wants to raise money for a bone marrow transplant. What symptoms might reappear after a leukemia bone marrow transplant?Doctor's answer:
It is very likely to experience a recurrence of the body's rejection response after bone marrow transplantation, so the risk is relatively high. Immunosuppressive agents need to be used for a long time after the surgery. Currently, bone marrow transplantation is a relatively effective treatment, but the cost of the surgery is high. It is also necessary to wait for a suitable match before the transplantation can be performed. Finally, in daily life, it is important to maintain a good mood, as a positive attitude is very helpful for recovery from the disease.
