bailie,

it's a tough choice... even though my cytogenetics came back 100% clean, and I was at 4% blasts after my two rounds of Dacogen.... I am happy I went for the transplant...

Now my circumstances were perfect pre-transplant, with a 10/10 sibling match... But with three young daughters, and a household to support, I had little choice... I still have three colleges to pay and three daughters to give away... I need 25 years not 5 more...
