Mario,
You only did two weeks in hospital! That's quite a record. The minimum stay here for sct is 2 to 6 months. Average sct patients usually do 4months, then let on trial leave for 2 days, then back in for a week, then officially released. And after that are weekly follow ups.
I dont know if its the new meds I am taking has caused restlessness at night, unable to sleep, or I am anxious about the upcoming chemo and transplant that has caused insomina.

I did ask the doctor why I am not undergoing chemo to bring my blasts down, they said it was ok at 8,7%, there's a girl here who relapsed, she is going through her 2nd cbt at 19% blasts. I hope the doctors know what they are doing.

And one more thing is they don't do second sct with the same donor, and no DLI? My doctorsaid if I relapse, then it's because my brother's stem cell doesn't work on me, he would opt for a cord blood transplant.
Any thoughts?
