HSCT?

Hi peeps. So I was going through the news today and noticed that stem cell transplant therapy for multiple sclerosis started in my country yesterday. I really don't know anything too deeply about this treatment, so I was wondering if anyone here has any direct /indirect connection to it and did you guys hear about any positive results. Just curious.

Hi, this topic has been posted on before: https://shift.ms/forums/topic/lemtrada-or-hsct I hope this helps (I know little about it, although a BBC Panorama programme showed promising results....although I've heard it is a tough and risky treatment which was not highlighted) Take care xx

Yes @lucyh, I was very concerned at the way they skated over the very real dangers of this treatment. It's very interesting, and each to their own - but given that MS is rarely fatal, stem cell treatment is too much of a risk for me!!
