2 Years Post HSCT And MS Still Stopped

I would wait 5 years to say 'cured' though. That's what they say with cancer.
I think this is fantastic. May the new year bring you even more recovery!

Fair enough. From the population of current HSCT (phase II and phase III) clinical trial patients, the MS disease is stopped at 8+ years and still going. (So far no one that has had their disease stopped has had a 'relapse' back into active progression MS.)

So by this nomenclature HSCT counts as a cure.

Happy New Year everyone!

I just passed the two year post-HSCT milestone and my MS is still stopped and I have recovered 50% of my pre-transplantation physical function.

Some people will disagree with my nomenclature, but I call that a cure.

I posted the details here:
