Cheryl,

Thanks for the reply.
My dad's case happens to be very rare though. This only happens 15% of the time and the way it happened to him was even more rare. My father had one of the best doctors in the world in this field. He has been doing this for over 30 years. He said my father's case of GVHD was one of the worse he has ever seen.

My dad wanted to do whatever was necessary to live. This was his best chance. Every single case is so different, that's what makes it a little scarier. I'm sure you hear all these stats about relapse and so on, but every person is there own person. Every body is so different. These stats are so general. I think it's important to have a doctor you trust and to ask other doctors opinions too. Everyone told us this was the best plan. He was one of the rare cases of dying from acute GVHD.
