I really respect and appreciate the advice that all of you have given. You realize exactly what I (and we) am/are going through. I do have considerable support at OHSU. I have full faith in my doctor(s) and advisers. They do want the best for me. My primary wants to make sure that they do everything possible to fit what I want (quality and/or longevity) out of life. The choice is the thirty days (15 days Flag-Ida followed by another 15 day cycle of Flag-Ida) followed by a DLI. The DLI definitely increases the percentages (2 yr. survival of 21% compared to 9% without the DLI. They are checking at this time to see if my donor will go along with this in case we go that route. I have terrific family support which helps so much.

Thank you so much for your advice and compassion.
