Good Morning,
2 weeks ago my 14 year old son was diagnosed with CML. Of course I went online to see everything there was to see...
Big mistake.
I was told by his doctor that he must have a bone-marrow transplant (he has no full sibs) so we would have to get an un-related donor. (He is currently on 400mg of Gleevec) Now I have been seeing a lot of stuff that says people can live and maybe even be cured w/o the BMT (which I see has a 30~50% mortality rate???)...this is all so confusing. I want to do what is right, and best for my son...any thoughts???
