marrow transplant?

I'm 68 and have a slightly low wbc. I'm not being treated at this time for anything and seem to be in perfect health. Many years ago my brother died of leukemia after I donated marrow. His death was horrific. It could not have been worse. I wonder, at my age, if I'm a candidate for a transplant. I remember hearing that transplants for old people don't work and that there are few success stories in general for old people and marrow disease. Your thoughts?
