Research Question

[sparrow015]

So I'm working on this one fic where the character has cancer: Leukemia. Now I am still researching this and looking things up, but I figured I'd also ask my flist, 'cause you guys rock. :D

Now, the question is with remission in Leukemia I know chemotherapy is invovled, but what about the bone marrow that you can get donations from other people? Do they inject the healthy compatable bone marrow right away or do they wait until the chemo treatments are done and then add the marrow?

Oh - other random thing is I think that some therapies are now trying to repopulate a person with their own non-cancerous stem cells, if they can't find a match.

Hmm, good to know, but I probably want to keep this as simple as possible without over crowding the fic with technical details, but enough so people understand what's going on with the treatments and bone marrow donation.
