I did have post transplant HiCY at Johns Hopkins but had full myeloablative conditioning (Busulfan and Fludarabine) and bone marrow rather than stem cells. Hopkins uses marrow to reduce incidence of GvHD. I was not considered for reduced intensity conditioning because of the severity of my MDS and my otherwise good health. They don't do TBI for MDS At Hopkins anymore.
