Hi I need to apologize to the group. I guess I just didn't make myself clear enough. I have told the doctor I don't want a BMT because of several reasons. However, it is nice to have the search done if for any reason as a last resort I have to have one. My family thinks I'm crazy for not wanting to do a transplant, but they have not looked at all the information that I had. My daughter was with me one day so I asked the doctor a question about the risk involved and now my daughter understands a little bit more.

Hey Suzan & Group:Your life is parallel to mine with a diagnosis after 50, son in AF, my 'nasty' divorce after my health failed, diagnosis with all the side effects listed and others, other health problems, not being a candidate for a bmt and being told I had 2 months to live in '03.I agree with Pat you need a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th opinion prior bmt; the transplantation doctors push for them. I personally don't like the stats for women over 50 with other health issues. I met a lady and she said 'the darn thang last all of 8 months', and now she's living a Gleevec life again. The CDC doctor came in and told them that she was going to die, she didn't and now she's basically back to her life prior the bmt. She says she's been 'through hell and back via the bmt' and her quality of life is the same as pre bmt.Suzan, from your post, you are a christian, and I will pray for you to make the right decision. Our 'bug' as I call CML is a life changing disease, and now you have another life changing decision to make regarding your life as a survivor.Take care, all are in my prayers.
