Angie, here's another thread on this same topic: http://forums.marrowforums.org/showthread.php?t=492
As Marlene says, high dose cyclophosphamide (aka high dose cytoxan) is the protocol developed by Dr. Robert Brodsky at Johns Hopkins. As far as I know, he is still the only one using it. From what I understand, it is not recommended for anyone who has had previous ATG treatment, as that tends to lower the success rate.
If you want to contact Dr. Brodsky directly: http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/hemat...brodsky_r.html
