Does anyone have any information as how successful mini transplants are for the older person ?

Almost as good as a full one for old geezers. I had a mini almost 4 years ago and it cured my MDS. You can google, there are lots of references.

Ray, Thanks for the response. I thought maybe since they didn’t use as much chemo the success rate might not be that good. Did you get really sick from the chemo ?

Neither the chemo or the TBI made me sick. I did feel somewhat weak and fatigued.
