Good for you for doing your due diligence. I went to Seattle Cancer Care, Fred Hutchinson's Cancer Research Center. The "Hutch" as it is fondly known by, is the world's pioneer of bone marrow transplants and other cutting edge research. It was an amazing experience...like they wrap you in their arms and don't let go until you are well. I haven't checked out the Mayo Clinic's MM program, though. I just know that the success rate at the Hutch is really really good. My nurse case-manager, when told her husband only had a few months to live due to prostate cancer, remembered what I had told her about the Hutch. She immediately got an appointment there...no waiting around for weeks...and 9 years later they are still enjoying traveling together all over the world. Miracles do happen...but not everywhere. Keeping researching and asking questions. Combine your gut with your brain and you will know what to do. Love yourself well.
