Hi Lisa!
I think the protocol they were more or less following with me was the one for AML patients who are not headed to transplant, because I didn't yet have a donor lined up.
Still, that seemed pretty early to me, and Dr. DeCastro has a nice paper arguing that a day 14 or 15 marrow doesn't make much sense. I know that folks at the big hospital down in Charlotte no longer use it, and I'll bet that's the case elsewhere.
Take care!
Greg
