Cord transplant anyone?
I’m curious to hear from anyone with AML who’s undergone a stem cell replacement using umbilical cord tissue as opposed to bone marrow. I realize there are advantages and disadvantages to cord transplant (lower chance of GVHD but longer engraftment period and more chance of infection).
If you had a cord transplant, what led to your decision, and how was your experience overall?
