bailie,
I had a full myeloablative transplant, 10/10 matched unrelated donor, at Johns Hopkins on 30 Nov 2010. Busulfan and fludarabine conditioning chemo before and cytoxan chemo after instead of immunosuppressants. I also had 10 Vidaza treatments post transplant. It is theorized but unproven that it helps train the new immune system to target disease.
