I think you must mean the mortality rate for BMT's is that high. It is not
that high for Gleevec and the numbers are quite low.

Subject: [CML] FYI
Regarding: BMT
It is being 'tooted' as a CURE by the transplant doctors
and specialists for statistical purposes. It is not a cure when we have
brothers & sisters dying who were living the Gleevec life. 30% in 1st 3
months, over 50% the 1st year.
We have a Chronic Disease, brothers & sisters have survived
since 1998 with our gold. We have the other drugs, trials, the vaccine
and research on the horizon. We want the 'quick fix', but a BMT is not a cure
when it fails and we're living the Gleecec life again. GVHD cannot be
taken lightly, it's a killer. So very much to consider, but every aspect in
life should be considered.
