Therefore, before she can start her stem cell transplant process, she will need another round of Chemo to eliminate the Leukemia cells. The "pre-transplant" Chemo process is more intended to suppress her immune response to donor stem cells rather than to kill Leukemia cells. So, she now faces 2 more rounds of Chemo before the stem cell transplant process can begin.Naturally, this news is very discouraging, but we're staying positive.
Sorry to hear that - we're thinking of and praying for you!
