Sidhartha,
BMT has been offered to my husband from the beginning. It does depend on health conditions. With his high risk at first they said that BMT would definitely be the way to go. he is currently being seen at Moffitt Cancer Center by Dr.Komrajhi (?). BMT used to be allowed to younger individuals however the limits have been raised and are now gauged on other factors than age. I hope your father is being seen by competent doctors, but if you have any doubts I would certainly get a second opinion.
Best wishes to you and your father.
