Unfortunately "cure" is the only words many patients and caregivers hear when a BMT is discussed. Many are never told of the mortality and relapse rates nor about the major complicatons that many if not most BMT patients undergo.

patient had thought a "cure" meant go back to pre-CML life without
worries and so I had her talk to a BMT survivor.  I thought she had a

who have matched siblings, do have good QOL long-term than the rest but
one would not know beforehand if one would fall into that category.
