Do I Absolutely Need a Bone Marrow Transplant?

Only M3 leukemia requires no bone marrow transplant; chemotherapy alone has a high success rate. Of course, there are other types of leukemia that can be treated with chemotherapy, but these cases are rare. For chronic myeloid leukemia, initial medication can control the condition, but if conditions allow, bone marrow transplant is still recommended. The transplant usually involves a high-dose chemotherapy session in an isolation chamber followed by the infusion of stem cells. You will need to stay in the isolation chamber for about a month, and then you will also need to stay in the hospital for some time after that. The length of hospital stay depends on individual circumstances. If you are planning to undergo a bone marrow transplant surgery, I recommend that you consult with your doctor in detail and ensure you have an appropriate match.
