Tonia, If you want a qualified hospital & oncologist who might be able to
fit your Dad in sooner, I know that Dr. Rubin at St. Joseph's Hosp in NJ
does a lot of these low-intensity allo stem cell transplants. I would
assume he'd have an opening prior to September. Maybe another option to get
it done more quickly. Jack

Subject: [MOL] Hello All,my dad has AML
Hello, My name is Tonia and I just found this wonderful site a few days
ago. My 68 year old dad was diagnosed with MDS transforming to AML on April
11, 2000. He is currently undergoing his 3rd round of chemo. The first did
not work, 2nd was a charm. We were supposed to have a stem cell transplant
this month (my brother is a 6/6 perfect match) but were informed last Friday
the hospital did not have a bed for him until September!!! The doctors at
the University of Michigan hospital recommend consolidation chemo to start
on Tuesday to prevent the cancer from returning prior to the transplant. I
contacted MANY hospitals all over the country to see if they could
accommodate my dad for the transplant. None would be able to in a
satisfactory time period.<
