Non-myleboblative
Im going for stem cell transplant on Jan 2nd and I entered myself into a clinical trial at UK in Lexington ky. that there researching the results of Myleoblative and non-Myleoblative treatment before transplant.
Ive had a very tough time deciding if im going to stay in the trial, I was "randomly" chosen for the non-Myleoblative ( low intensity ) but ive heard that the low intensity has a higher relapse rate. Ive had it explained that both standard treatment ( high dose ) and low dose have the same success rate (70%) and failure rate (30%) but, the failure rate on low dose is higher in the relapse area.
Does anyone have info or experience with these procedures or clinical trials and results ? I have to decide soon if im gonna stay in the trial or not soon .. thanks.
