Understanding Bone Marrow Transplantation - from the Clinical and Personal Perspectives

A bone marrow transplant is a multi-step procedure to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells, and it is used to treat certain blood cancers like lymphoma and leukemia, as well as aplastic anemia and other immune and genetic diseases.

This talk discussed current treatment regimens. It also addressed the complexities that can be overwhelming for the family, as well as the patient, of going through bone marrow transplantation.

Speakers: David Miklos, MD
Bonnie Willdorf, author of Dancing with Cancer – Maladies and Miracles in Stem Cell Transplantation

Dr Miklos' thank you so much for this valuable talk! you have terrific style!I would be so grateful if you had time to comment:I was diagnosed w/ stage 4 large B cell lymphoma early january this year. after 8 Rchop and 7 mapthera, I've been cancer-free for about 1/2 the year (as measured by PET_CT), last month, the transplant team (I'm at Soroka Hospital In Be'er Sheva, Israel) collected my bone-marrow stem cells and they want to do the transplant procedure this month. they keep calling this "consolidation' of the treatment... they won't share statistics, and I haven't found them online. can you give me an idea of the preventative effects on recurrence?forgot to say:I am female, and have never had any serious illness in my 62 years until now.
also, can you suggest any dietary moves? I've been vegetarian most of my life, and my hospital has disappointed me on this since the start. (otherwise they are amazing!thanking you in advance, michal eliav
