It's worked so far. January 5th will be my three year anniversary of my bone marrow transplant, and I've been cancer free since 1/5/07. The side effects were horrible though. I felt like utter crap every day for at least two months, and that was when I was lucid.

It was THE hardest thing I have ever had to do. There were times when I didnt think I would make it. But it paid off. All of the grueling days and nights were worth it because I survived. However my life has changed dramatically because of the treatments and meds. I developed severe osteoperosis. I am 52 in a 90 year old body.
