Hi lillian,
Try to remain positive through your treatment and recovery. As with all of these treatments, there is a chance that they won't work, but there is also a chance that they will.
I think that the issue with aging is that it takes longer for everything to heal! The bone marrow is probably no exception. So be patient after the treatment. The immune attack will have been thwarted, but your marrow will be extremely fragile and it will take time to rebuild. Take every extra precaution to prevent infections during this time.
Best of luck!
