Too Soon To Tell
I didn't have the actual transplant, but a harvest was done, and something like a liter or two of my bone marrow was frozen at Fred Hutchison to give me the option of being my own donor in the future. It was explained that if I relapsed, it would mean that chemo was probably no longer going to be effective, and a transplant would be the only option.
