Hi Paul
For recurrent AML, BMT is about the best option. The disadvantage of autologous (your own cells) transplant is the high possibility of recurrent AML. The advantage is avoiding problems like GvHD. Another possibility is allogenic BMT which are not your own cells, but a close match. Mini transplants are being used with some success as they kind of avoid both problems of recurrence and rejection (GvHD). Be sure to discuss options with your doc and learn all you can about those options.
