Relapse 15 months post FCR (6 rounds), BMT???

[Guest guest]

My 50 year old husband was diagnosed with CLL (unmutated) in

2007. He achieved a complete remission 15 months ago after

6 rounds of FCR. While his numbers look good, the CT scan

is indicative of a relapse (his waist size went from a 36 to

38 with no diet change). We meet with Dr. Coutre Tuesday

for results from a new FISH and to plan. My question is if

anyone has had a similar experience. His brother is a

perfect match so we are already thinking to follow up

treatment with a mini-allo sibling transplant at Hutchinson

in Seattle. I would LOVE to hear some SUCCESS stories! Any

input would be appreciated.
