The available treatment options are : 1) Bone Marrow Transplantation: This costs around 10-15 lakhs and the response rate is around 60%. 2) ATS : This costs around 6 lakhs and a minimum hospitalisation period of 2 months. The response rate is around 40%. 3) Cyclosporine : This drug costs around rs 10000- 12000 per month. The minimum trail period is 3 months. Given the limited finances we are right now going with the third option. She also needs blood transfusion every fortnight. That costs 2k a month. Please help me out in meeting the treatment expenditures. Thanks a ton for ur support.
