The risks versus the benefits of treatment of anything have to be considered.
Aplastic is a serious and life-threatening disease. Doctors are required to tell you every side effect ever known to man. Most of the side effects do not happen, or are manageable. Aplastic anemia itself can be associated with an increased risk of cancer.
If you are not treated, you may die from the aplastic anemia. Pray that you live long enough to worry about cancer.
Good luck- my prayers are with you.
Our daughter had immunosuppressive therapy and yes, while we were concerned about these side effects, our worries about multiple transfusions were much higher. Overall, the immunosuppressive therapy went well, and we have not seen any side effects. Our daughter continues to have low counts, but she is transfusion independent.
