My sister was going through BMT and she kept complaining about her neurological symptoms but the team didn't take it seriously and after a few weeks they said "we are in a mess and this is very progressive." Their job was limited to BMT but after BMT complications are not their headache. So, those who are looking forward to doing their BMT please keep in mind your quality of life is almost non existent when you go to this doctor. He might never understand how it feels to grieve for someone who was so young and had so many dreams. Though he says he has done more than 1000 BMT's but who knows how many of them are healthy now or even alive.
