I think you will be OK. You have your age in your favor. So that is good. Squirrelypoo's story inspired me. It sounds like her transplant worked well for her. The computer is horrific. You should try and read some positive stories. That story made me feel much better. I'm hoping to hear more responses about this transplant prep myself. Please keep in touch. I am in Staten Island. We can chat over the computer and I can keep you in my hopes and prayers too. Good luck to you and your children.

I transformed from meds to aml and had induction chemo which failed and second lot of chemo (with a stay in icu due to an infection) which has produced remission but no real count recovery & are basically getting platelets every second day and red twice a week. But terrified or not what choice do I have!Like u Cam I have two children 5&8 who need their mum! Good luck everyone and I say grab the chance while you are well. I am already so tired of hospitals & being away from my kids & have lost 8 kilograms so far. But this is my only option so I have a few days to work on my positivity & find some mote inner strength and get this done.
