Many people in their 60s and even older are having SCTs and doing well and it sounds as though your dad is otherwise healthy which is a real advantage. It seems that if one can get through the first 2 years post SCT the prospects for long term survival are very high. Unfortunately no one can guarantee a successful outcome so it's important that your dad goes into transplant with full knowledge of the associated risks.
