I used to have sickle cell anemia but I got a bone marrow transplant & now I no longer have it thank God.

[@josphineonyango887]

Hi Yvonne can you tell me more about it thank you

[@yvonneclervoyant4541]

I got my transplant done at Miami Children's hospital in Florida ofc I spent a long 6 months in the hospital on high alert precautions because around the time my immune system was weak so it was strictly family and doctors that could see me I went through chemotherapy which was really rough at one point in time I couldn't eat anymore idk if it was due to the chemo or the other meds but they gave me food through the IV so I was fine I prayed everyday I had my mom by my side for almost all of it then my sister stepped in she was also my donor too so there goes my story 😘❤️ (I got it because I had sickle cell anemia disease)

[@alanaramsay2249]

Cried after watching this segment tonight. Both my brother and I were born with sickle cell anemia. He was able to receive a bone marrow transplant that cured him in 2016 from the NIH but I was ineligible because I had no match. To be honest, I had given up on the idea of ever having a long life and I was at peace with that but now...

This still comes with very dangerous risk

[@damanibaraka7896]

Yes there is a risk but the alternative is a life of extreme pain and most of the time a premature death. My sister was an exception. She live to the age of 72 although she lived most of her life in pain.

what if radiation alone or chemotherapy alone made the therapeutic mutation not the gene therapy it self or what if it was only from accepting the bone marrow to some stem cells in transfused blood which took over?

I have daughters sickle cell desease i am in Cameroun in central Africa please help me excuse me i dont speak very well english please help me

[@manakrissy9154]

I have questions, because there are not only risk, but rare blood types who's bodies fight against either of these diseases which would counteract the treatment in my unmedical opinion.. research shows that to be true.. so how would this work in them even vaccinating them with HIV? I have QUESTIONS..

[@superkjayslay4218]

Mana Krissy yeah I do to . I was All for it until they mentioned hiv. I mean I already have one Illness. I’m sure if I’m willing to take the risk of adding a deadly disease on top of everything I’ve already been diagnosed with. I have soo many questions.

Im happy for the young lady but not too sure about this weakened version of HIV put into humans who have sickle cell. more research must be done, more success stories are needed.

Victoria 2B Real Toussaint-Hill you cant get success stories with trials 🤷‍♀️

[@plugthesnippet6583]

how do most sickle cell patients die?

[@ktani86]

Infections due to a compromised immune system, organ damage due to blood/oxygen deficiency, stroke, etc.

[@natashaclifton1929]

Infection, acute chest syndrome, Vaso-occlusive crisis, stroke

[@mariellesflipphonetyping7893]

PlugTheSnippet • i have actually had acute chest and pneumonia many times. i have gotten my spleen removed and almost lost my kidney and many other organs at age seven. when i was seven i had a three week medically induced coma so my body could deal with damage. i’m 13 and I’m very surprised i haven’t passed away yet.
