Hello! First the postive bit: if the patient is fit enough to tolerate the procedure stem cell transplant may lead to good long term survival (though more studies are needed for conclusive proof) ; the negative: stem cell transplant is a complex,risky
procedure which may lead to serious complications (including loss of life). Therefore any decision in this regard should be taken very carefully. All the best!
