Stem Cell Transplant Decision & Success
I am having a challenging time deciding whether to move forward with a stem cell transplant. I have AML with INV 16 and was diagnosed on November 18, 2023. Initially, I went through Induction Chemo followed by 4 rounds of Consolidation Chemo then I relapsed in Sept. 2024.
My challenge is getting straight answers from my oncologist about the risks, the chance of success, how long I may be down, etc., based on their experience with a 57-year-old male. The answers I receive are very vague. I would also appreciate guidance from someone who has been through an STC transplant. This too has been difficult. I left out that my donor is one of my daughters (half-match).
I would greatly appreciate sharing anyone's experience and input. I am very confused and the past 13 months have been a roller coaster. I would really like to get off this roller coaster.
