T cell depleted transplant
My husband had a t cell depleted transplant. Absolutely no GVHD or any other complications. 8 months after transplant MDS turned into AML. After 2 rounds of chemo blasts never were low enough for a 2nd transplant. Ending up getting pneumonia and passing away at age 46. Doctors recommended the t cell depleted so we went with it. Not sure of the statistics of GVHD and relapse. Good luck in whatever you decide. Donna. (Wife of David-Whizbang)
