Yes, we definitely can identify with what you and your husband are going through. On the other hand, one thing we've learned is how individual this disease can be from person to person in some ways. Plus each patient, doctor, and facility will be different. It's great that Dan has a matched sibling donor. I thought it is common to do some sort of consolidation therapy to reduce the blasts before moving to the pre-transplant conditioning chemo but I am not a medical professional. Do you have a good rapport with your doctor? It wouldn't hurt to ask why they decided to move forward without trying to reduce the blasts first. Perhaps there are good reasons specific to your husband's case. Or you could try to get a second opinion.
