HSCT
Are there any ms’rs on here that have had the hsct treatment? I’m planning to get it done. I want to hear some suggestions, do’s and dont’s. Etc. Was it a success for you? What is your life like now? What was it like before? Is it worth the money?
@ron_s_perrin , try putting "HSCT" into the Forum Search function (magnifying glass, top left). We have had some members that have had this treatment.
Ron_s_perrin I considered going to Mexico for stem Cell treatment two years ago I then spoke to my neurologist who put me up for having it in London on the NHS and I was accepted. I did a bit more research and found that people like me who have had MS since 1992 are less likely to do well on it. In fact it’s possible that it will worsen one’s situation. In the end I decided against having it. As it happens, I have got a lot worse in the last two years so part of me wishes I had a gone ahead But it is also true that there is a whole group of people whose MS has been worsened by stem cell treatment and they are usually the ones that I’ve had it a long time. In my research I also learnt that there is something about the Mexico protocol which is not quite as good for you as the method used at the Hammermith hospital
