CMML-2 Treatment Success

I was diagnosed with CMML-2 initially at UCLA where I went to my Dr.'s Number 8-12. That was in 2002. They told me the only treatment was a Bone Marrow Transplant. Then I went to Dr's in Utah where I was told the same thing. My 1st symptoms were high fevers every 8-12 days lasting 3-8 days. Incredible fatigue, and muscle pain. Then in Oregon in 2010, My fevers took a terrible turn for the worse and was admitted 3 times with in 5 weeks, 6 days each time. Another Bone Marrow test, then my 3rd since 2002 indicated higher white blood cell counts. Started Vidaza shots (135 7 times each month). It has completely relieved the symptoms and my energy is better than since 2000. I know it won't last, but it's been a great relief for now. I'm now seeking a transplant at Huntsman in Salt Lake City. Let me know what your success has been with any similar treatments.
