I have sickle cell anemia and wanted to know how to go about getting stem cell transplant, is there some type of waiting and who do i go through?

See BMT doctor: In someone your age, whether you can be transplanted or not would depend on many factors, the most important of which would be how well your organs are functioning (like liver, kidneys, heart). You also need a adequate donor. You have to see a bone marrow transplant doctor. Since you live in Georgia, I would recommend going to Emory to see an Adult or Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplant Doctor.

Need a donor : Stem cell transplant is not a simple procedure and can carry significant risk. However it will cure sickle cell anemia. The biggest hurdle to transplant is finding a donor who matches you. You would have to be seen at a transplant center first to do the testing to see if a potential donor exists and to get insurance authorization. The center would also have to have a protocol for sickle cell.
