Greg,

Glad to see that you are out of the hospital. About the blasts - I was transplanted with about 12% blasts. The magic number seems to be about 13% - at least as far as relapse is concerned. You mentioned that they had not found a donor just yet. I am sure that you have looked into haploidentical transplants. The results out of Johns Hopkins have been pretty positive, but I am not sure what their patient selection bias was when doing their study, and I am not sure what your prior chemotherapy and treatment options does to eligibility.

Either way, I am very glad that you are out and home for a while anyway.

Dan
