Transplant Doc Negative on Campath

Hi All,
I've ben reading about the NIH trial and also found the abstract from last December's ASH conference on the use of Campath use for hypo-MDS.
I fit the criteria, but my university-based transplant doc is very negative on Campath, indicating that it is notorious for activating dormant CMV and EBV and would complicate any future transplant.
I'm not sure I want to go the transplant route, but I'd hate to mess up the prospects for one.
Anyone else had feedback like this?
Thanks.
Greg
