Rob,
Nice to hear you're inspired. Thanks. My understanding about the stem cells vs. bone marrow option is that stem cell transplants let the patient recover a bit faster but have a higher chance of relapse while bone marrow transplants take longer to recover from but have somewhat less chance of relapse. I didn't have the choice when I had my transplant because it was before stem cells were routinely used. Our research expert, Birgitta, may be able to provide some references to current research on this topic. Birgitta?
Regards,
Ruth
