Hi Peachy - I'm very sorry that things haven't worked out for your husband with the BMT at this stage. It's a big decision and anyone who goes down that path is really courageous, to say the least.

Not sure whether a stem cell transplant is an alternative option but if it is you may be interested to read the following regarding SCTs for older patients.

I do hope your husband is feeling much better soon. It's obvious that you are a wonderful support for him.
