Bone Marrow Transplant

[Guest guest]

dear Master Fe,

Namaste

that's Andrea from Italy. Could you please help me again with Matteo?

You saw him last july in Nadia's house in Monfalcone,he is 14 years old and the diagnoisis is chronic myellogenous leukemia. Mastrer Choa saw and healed him three weeks ago. Now he is in the hospital from th 17th of april an tomorrow afternoon , 27th of april, he is going to have a bone marrow transplant from an unrelated donnor. During these last 9 days in the hospital he received very high doses of chemotherapy (conditioning), and three days of 2 sessions a day of TBI

(total body irradiation). He felt bad only the first two days of chemo and during the

3 days of TBI he DIDN'T have any side effects. He was happy, talking and laughing

with all the medical staff. Doctors were astonished and asked me often (not in front of him,) if he had at least nausea. Yesterday his WBC were 4000, this morning were 1000 and tomorrow morning his immunitary system will not exist any more

ready to receive the bone marrow transplant, that is an infusion. About the donnor we only know that she is an american girl 28 years old (God's blesses to her).

Complications after transplant could be GVHD Graft Versus Host Disease.

GVHD is triggered by a type of WBC in the donnor's marrow calle T cells. the donnor T cells are trained to recognize which cells belong in the donnor's body

and which cells do not. When transplanted into the patient, the T cells perceive the patient's organs and tissues as foreign cells and start an immune system attack

to destroy them. It's better to say ...could start...GVHD could be controlled with drugs.Allthought donor WBC can cause GVHD, they also confer an important benefit on CML patient called Graft versus leukemia effect because there is the possibility that not all leukemia cells has been destroyed from chemotherapy and total body irradiastion.

Other complications are infections, expecially from cytomegalovirus, because the

new bone marrow takes time to colonized.

Could you tell me please what to do with Matteo, because this is a delicate moment. During tha last ten days I did only sweeping on him, prayers, blessings

and positive thinking. Now I need to know how to go on.

THANK YOU,THANK YOU, THANK YOU

LOVE AND LIGHT

NAMASTE

Andrea
