Peachy,

First and foremost they will try to get your husband into remission by induction chemo which as you say is the heavy duty kind. During that time, a search for an unrelated donor could begin. His age of 67 is not all that old for a transplant . My husband just had his and he is 74. As we look around at the patients in the hospital and in the waiting room, we see many that would be in their 60's and early 70's. We would recommend going to a facility that specializes in transplants.
If you have any specific questions, I would be glad to help in any way. When I was doing my research, I had a difficult time finding info on older patients so I would like to help anyone else that I can.
