Boost vs DLI
Baille,
Thanks for the reply. When I talked to my doc about the "boost" he specifically said the cells would be stem cells - the same as what I got in the original transplant. I asked about DLI and he said a DLI is infusion of lymphocytes that have been extracted from the donor's blood and is used when you have reoccurrence of the disease and this was not what he was contemplating for me. My previous doctor had mentioned Vidaza but that was when I was Intermediate risk and wasn't planning on a SCT. Things went downhill fast with an increasing percent of Monosomy 7 abnormalities.
Thanks again,
Data
