Has anybody heard or done HSCT??

Has anybody heard or done the HSCT?? I have read lots of articles about people curing themselves with this treatment! I read an article from HSCT Clínica Ruiz on Facebook and I’m following a young lady who had just returned from having it done!

  1. Hi ,
    While you wait for feedback from the community, I thought you might like to browse through the conversation on the site that speak to experience with HSCT. I hope this answers some of your questions. Thanks for being here, -Warmly, Donna (MultipleSclerosis.net team)

    1. Hi , I just wrote about this very topic, you may wish to check it out: https://multiplesclerosis.net/living-with-ms/hsct-basics/

      1. Hi I have considered it and am going to have it done ASAP I’ve looked into it very extensively and for what I can tell it does start your whole system again like a computer reboot. I got diagnosed with RRMS on March 5th of this year and I’ve had epilepsy most of my life so having the chemotherapy and the stem cell treatment is a no brainer. I spoke with my neurologists both in Singapore and UK and they both are willing for me to undergo the treatment because there is no other treatment available that will repair our tissues and our DNA gets rebuilt. There is a new drug for MS that’s now just been put on hold called Ofatumumab that targets the B-cells in the whole body which is amazing and it can over time reduce lesions. But It’s up to you if you want to wait for that one or have the HSCT. I’m killing two birds with one stone I’ve got nothing to lose apart from my hair lol which will grow back but it is a cure for some people.

        1. We're thinking of you and wishing you the very best success. Hope you'll keep us posted - Shelby, MultipleSclerosis.net Team Member

      2. Thank you and I will keep all of you updated about my progress
