End of Remission, what next?

My cousin was diagnosed with CML about two years ago.  He is in his mid-thirties now.  We just learned that the Gleevac that had given us so much hope is no longer doing the trick and his doctors have told him he will require a bone marrow transplant. 

Please excuse my ignorance but we have no experience with this.  Has anyone else seen Gleevac fail?  What does the transplant entail?  Can I be a donor?  What other options might he have?

Any and all information you can provide would be appreciated.
