As part of visiting hospitals for regular checkups and talk with Neurologist for my MS, i actively read the internet for any hope on Multiple Sclerosis.
One of the press release of Fortis hospital has caught my eye for performing Bone Marrow Transplantation (BMT) and they claim to have done more than 100 cases. It really good to hear this positive advancement to control Multiple Sclerosis and give MS patients a good life.
Fortis hospital doctors say that clinical processes only helps in the slow progression of diesease and not stop the myelin attack.
According to Dr Rahul Bhargava said, “The reason for multiple sclerosis remains an enigma. The clinical processes only help slow the progression of the disease and do not offer a sure shot cure. In an autologous BMT procedure, the healthy stem cells from the patient are taken out and preserved. Chemotherapy is then administered to reset the body’s immunity and then the stem cells are injected back to rescue the person from the side effects of chemotherapy. After the surgery, the patient is kept under isolation for a few months to ensure they do not contract any infection.”
I am have moved from Primary to Secondary Progressive Multiple Scelorosis, i am not sure if Bone Marrow Transplantation will be of any help.
Please leave your comment. Great if any one can provide confidence to go for Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in India.
