Hi Greg,

If I were in your position, I'd probably be doing exactly what you are. I was tempted to try to wait a year or three or even five with the Vidaza working so well but I started to get too nervous about the odds, especially when I don't have a matched donor waiting in the wings.

I had almost made up my mind to go for the radiolabeled antibody conditioning plus SCT in Seattle but then felt overwhelmed with the logistics of being 3000+ miles away from home when Johns Hopkins is a mere 29.3 miles from my doorstep.

Keep us posted with the research, please.

Karen
