Hi, Sorry I can't answer the question that you have asked about the stem cell/ bone marrow transplant. But, I wanted to pass onto you about my experience. I had AML in 1993. I was 34 years old. After 2 courses of chemo I went into complete remission. I then went onto have a third course. I then had to make the decision of whether to have a fourth course or have a transplant. Because I was in full remission they were going to use my own bone marrow (Autolouous) I was also at a high risk of a relapse. I have no siblings. So, I went ahead and had the transplant. I had the transplant in the August and by December I had turned the corner and my strength and energy was returning. Now 17 years later I am fitter and healthier than ever. I don't take any medication, I did have a menopause at the time, so now when I should be going through it I have escaped it!
I hope this helps your sister in some way.
Regards Julie

Hi

I know you posted a long time ago but I am wondering and hoping it all went well.

My mum has AML, got diagnosed in may. She has had two lots of chemotherapy and now the doctors are deciding whether to do a transplant. Her sister is a very good match for her.

Do you have any thoughts or information on this as I'm going stir crazy with all of it and would like to hear some feedback on it all.

Thank you

Hope all is well x
