Suggest Treatment For Cerebral Palsy

Hi, my son having AML(M5) diagnosed in Mac. After his 3rd chemo(Jun) , he has "celebral palsy" . Supposed to do stem cell transplant but had a relapse. Will bone marrow test makes him weaker? He did tests on 6 and 28 Sept. Will he be affected when he goes thru his transplant? 3 months gone and he still can't control well. My son is 18 yrs old.

Neurologist,  's  Response
cerebral palsy is a term usually reserved specifically for the weakness secondary to a pre or peripartum vascular event that affected the motor tracts. it is unclear what they're trying to communicate to you but the general idea is that your son had damage to the motor tracts. the degree to which he will recover depends on what caused the weakness, where the damage is, and whether the process that caused it is still continuing to cause damage. whether or not he will get weaker with a stem cell transplant depends on the same factors. these are questions you should ask the neurologist involved in your sons care
