Sometimes with these aggressive cancer like AML it’s better to have an unrelated donor. There is a certain amount of the graft vs host that is necessary to establish great results! So don’t despair. ☺️

Yes, this is what the doc said. We are hopeful! Waiting to do bloodwork now. Thank you so much.

Good morning! I just wanted to drop by to see how your daughter is feeling. I’m sure just being home after her long confinement in the hospital is a real morale booster for her. You mentioned she has an upcoming BMBX to check her remission status. Will this one be at Mayo? If so, I’d really suggest asking her team for the option of a sedative. This will be one of many biopsies in her future and she may as well be as comfortable as possible. It’s quick, efficient and she’ll wake up to cookies/crackers and juice with no memory of the procedure.

Don’t hesitate to contact the team via the patient portal. They’re always responsive and dote on us transplant patients. ☺️ Do you or your daughter have any questions about the Consolidation chemo for AML or for the upcoming transplant?
