Congrats on your recovery! Hopkins specializes in half-match related-donor transplants and has an ongoing clinical study for them. I felt they were trying to push me into having one that I didn't need (my leukemia was undetectable due to a new trial drug). Did you really need such a risky transplant? What was the likelihood the cancer would return?

CML. Drug is ponatinib which was a trial at UMMC. CML became undetectable on it within two months. Hopkins then wanted me to come back and get a transplant.
