Hi there. I’m in a very similar boat with my mom and just finding this thread. Curious if she went ahead with the transplant in February or not and how things are going?

Hi @g54 There hasn’t been a recent update from @mgol as to their mom’s decision with the bone marrow transplant or not. Hopefully they’ll see this post and jump back into the conversation.

In the meantime, I’d like to welcome you to Mayo Connect.
From what I’m understanding, your mom has also been diagnosied with blood cancer and considering whether or not to have a bone marrow transplant. (BMT) As of right now, a BMT is the only potential cure for several blood cancers. It can come with some risks, but for most patients, this procedure has been a life saver and a means to a 2nd chance at life.
If you would share a little more about your mom with me I can help provide you with more information. Has your mom been diagnosed with CLL or another blood cancer?
