Urgent Second Stem Cell Transplant and Post-op
Displaced by war — Mohamad needs a second bone marrow transplant. The operation is scheduled. Help us fund it now.
Second allogeneic SCT scheduled at AUBMC, Beirut — May 5, 2026.
The hospital has issued an official cost estimate of $44,700 (fresh USD) for 30 days of inpatient BMT-Allogenic care. This does not include medication costs (Treosulfan, which must be purchased separately) or post-treatment follow-up expenses.
The real financial burden is the post-transplant care. The medications, the constant readmissions to the hospital, the weekly blood tests, the physiotherapy sessions, and the psychological support for a year or more will cost many times more than the operation itself.
Many people think the transplant is the end of the story. For Mohamed, it is just the beginning of a new, very difficult chapter. For 12 to 24 months or more, he will require:
1- Multiple Hospital Readmissions: Due to a severely weakened immune system, he will face serious complications like infections, organ stress, and Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). This means multiple emergency hospital visits and long stays, not just one.
2- Expensive Lifesaving Medications:
- Immunosuppressants: To prevent his body from rejecting the new marrow.
- Antivirals, Antibiotics & Antifungals: To fight the constant threat of infection because his new immune system will be zero for weeks.
- Growth Factors & Blood Products: To help his blood counts recover.
- Physical & Psychological Rehabilitation:
Physiotherapy: The long months of bed rest and illness will leave his muscles extremely weak. He will need physiotherapy just to learn to walk and use his hands again.
- Psychological Support: A child who has spent years in hospital rooms, away from friends and school, suffers deep emotional trauma. He needs psychological support to overcome his fear, anxiety, and the feeling of isolation so he can dream of a normal life again.
