Hi
When I was around 10 I was diagnosed with
Lukemia. Then I had a Bone Marrow
Transplant and radiation theorapy. After
that, I think I was normal. But my height
has not grown from the age of 15. I am
now 22 and my height has not increased at
all. And I also have problems some days
trying to remember things (short term
memmory), long term memeory doesn;t seem
to be a problem. So, is there anything I
can do to increase my height now? I
didn't have GH when I had my BMT, and I
read on the net that BMT at a young age
has an effect on the height. And that
patients that undergo radiation theorapy
have short term memory problems as well..
Is there anything I can do to increase my
height, or improve my memory Doc?? I mean
I am really grateful to god that I am
still alive, it was a deadly desease and
many people don't recover. But is there
anything I can do now to increase my
height?
I heard that I can take GH (growth
harmone) injections, but they can be
deadly at my age. And I heard that I can
get some special surgery, where they cut
my bones, and after cutting the bones, the
bones will start to grow(NOT REALLY CLEAR
HERE!). Please advice me.
