Just got word from the Hutch via my Dr. that there are a lot of possible matches for me and that I am apparently a good prospect for a transplant. I was expecting just the opposite so I’m pretty up right now.
I also ordered the BMT infonet book “Bone Marrow and Blood Stem Cell Transplants A Guide for Patients” to begin the process of finding out the pros and cons of transplants.
I think it is going to be a tough choice. I know my family will want me to get it because that is the only chance for a cure. I’d like to get cured too but I am not sure of the risks of rejection, recurrance and long term problems. I’d appreciate any insight from folks who may be monitoring the forum and who are going through or have had this procedure.
