Is there a cure for my sickle cell anemia ss ? my doc said there is one bone merrow transplnt will it work true or not ?

Donor transplant: Donor bone marrow transplantation from a related donor (usually sibling) or an unrelated donor can be often successfully carried out in healthy patients with sickle cell anemia. A cord blood transplant can be used if regular donors are not available. Useful website is www.Marrow.Org.

Yes: Bone marrow transplant can cure sickle cell disease. Patient's bone marrow is "emptied" using chemotherapy and then donor bone marrow is infused iv. Donor is preferrably a fully tissue (hla) matched sibling (may have sickle cell trait). If not available an unrelated donor can be found searching donor registries. The procedure requires about 4-6 weeks of hospitalization.
