Hi Babyking

I'm wondering why you are considering a transplant with all the possible ramifications if you don't have leukaemia, you feel well, your white cells are not much below normal and your other cells are OK. Are you getting numerous infections?

My WCC has averaged around 1.5-1.8 for about 12 years now, and I live a normal life apart from the 4-weekly IVIg infusions which help my immune system. I treat any infections promptly, and wouldn't dream of having a transplant unless my blast count rose above normal levels again. My haematologist wouldn't support me having one either.
