Hi @tlsorbet. It’s so important when having a BMT to be at a reputable larger hospital where they perform a greater volume of transplants. The experience and knowledge to handle complications, along with having a deeper bench of specialists is crucial. With a great BMT team everything should run like clockwork.
I’m sorry your experience was less than stellar. It sounds like you were able to go ahead with the transplant though. In defense of your doctor, whom you feel is dumb, there are many cases of AML where a bone marrow transplant is still the recommended course of treatment for long-term outcome.
The newer drugs that have been developed to treat AML have good track records but for some of us, it is still necessary for the BMT.
You’re about 16 months post transplant. How are you doing now? How has your recovery been? Any GVHD issues?
