Thanks, there is some info out there, but much of it is bleak, although we have to always remember a good portion of that was before new advances in medicine. The docs recommended a BMT from the beginning and my husband has two siblings who are a match, but Sloan will not do a transplant until the blasts are below 5%, so that is the current fight.

I started his story in the thread below, he just underwent induction therapy after his blasts went from 10-15% to 20%.

A follow up BMB is scheduled for next week and if all looks good then we can meet with the transplant team. Glad to hear you have sought other opinions. It is confusing!

Keep in touch as we can all learn, and lean, on each other,

Debbie
