Anyone had successful stem cell transplant for AML?

My wife has had a trial treatment at MD Anderson and did pretty well. Now she's scheduled for stem cell transplant which we know has risks. Just curious if anyone else here has been down that road.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) & CAR-T Cell Therapy Support Group.

No, but my wife claims I am high maintenance.

I was 42 when diagnosed with stage 3 myeloma, lots of bone damage and kidneys somewhat impaired. I had 4 stem cell transplants and an experimental Drug clinical trial saved my life in 2002. We virtually share our story with groups, and I wrote a book, The Man in the Arena: Surviving multiple since 1992. Profit goes to charity. I am the real James Bond.
