Hi Bailie,
I'm so sorry to hear about your last BMB.
I hope my experiences might help. I heard about all the risks associated with SCT. With my risk / reward ratio it was a no brainer to go with SCT. I came down with CMV, C.Diff and grade 4 GVHD. I spent 2 months in the hospital unable to eat and for my safety not allowed out of bed. They told my wife they thought I would die. If I survived there was a good chance of no long term problems. I am much improved now so again it was the right decision to put up with the hospital stay.
If I was convinced that there was not a good long term prognosis I would not put up with a 2 month hospital stay. I would go home and try my best from there.
