Tough, tough, tough decision. Yes, you're doing all right now, but only because of the IVIG and imuran and pred. Based on your progress, have they given you any indication of when you might be able to cut back on these drugs/treatments?
You know stem cell therapy is a big deal. You've been through alot and I'll bet this could not make you feel much worse than you have at other times before...but it is risky and it is without guarantees.
I honestly don't know what I might decide if I were you...it is such a difficult decision. I guess I would ask lots of questions, seek objective input from some of the doctors I'd met and liked along the way, and try to be honest with myself about the pros and the cons of the choice (as well as the one reject).
Whatever you decide to do, I hope that - with time - it gets you into the remission you deserve.
