Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an intense chemotherapy treatment for MS. It aims to stop the damage MS causes by wiping out and then regrowing your immune system, using your stem cells. Chris has put an amazing vLog together charting his progress and experience of HSCT treatment, Why not give it a watch and then share your thoughts on whether you would go for HSCT if you could get it in a post on the stream.

Just an update in 2017 I had a stem cell transplant at Hammersmith hospital in London, after a resent consultation with my neurologist and MRI scan there are no new lesions to be seen. Seems to be doing the job fingers crossed it will stay like that.
