In the transplant forum of leukemia society's BBS, there's a discussion going on about how to choose a transplant center. It might be helpful to you. Just go to google, search for "leukemia bbs", the first or the second would lead you to the BBS, choose the "Bone Marrow and Stem Cell transplant", you can find a lot of info on leukemia patients going through transplant, I highly recommend this forum. If you wanna contact me, when you are there, search for "fightALL", click on any post found under my username, then click on the profile of mine, you'll find my email.
I didn't have mine at Hutch, although I speak highly of the place, they are the one who suggested the additional test that might have saved me in the first place. I did the bmt just because the Ph+ (said it's a very poor prognosis due to this), I was against bmt before that discovery. My bmt was done at the local hospital in Wisconsin, so that I didn't have to be apart from my kids too long, and I feel happy that I could stay home to recover.
MD Anderson is also a great place, especially for CMLs (my impression only), so Andy is in good hands (for sure, he's started Gleevec?). Hold strong, Beth, he needs you at this very moment. You are in my thoughts. Good luck,
