My sister is not a match and my docs have said that at present the risks of MUD transplant outweigh the benefit. I am in the UK though, and I get the impression they are way more cautious than in the US.
Have normal cytogenetics and am currently stable with only nutritional treatment. Blasts were 5% with 80% cellularity at last test, but this was during a brief relapse 18 months ago so may (or may not) have improved since then.
My doc said they might reconsider transplant if all my counts were badly affected or cytogenetics changed for the worse. Not sure I'd go for it even then though, have no caregiver, live in a tiny rented flat, and unless I keep working, no money.
