Question Reduced Intensity Conditioning (RIC) vs Myeloablative (MA)

I was under the impression I was going to receive Reduced Intensity Conditioning (RIC) prior to my stem cell transplant. My doctor later told me that I had received Myeloablative (MA) conditioning. From the following does anyone know exactly which I got? I believe the Total Body Irradiation was a total of 5 Gray.

Cytarabine will be given daily through your central venous catheter (IV) continuously for 5 total days. Cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) willl be given once a day through your catheter (IV) over approximately 2 hours for two (2) consecutive days. Total Body Irradiation (TBI) will be administered once prior to your transplant.
