True, but there is a much higher chance of relapse of the cancer with your own stems. Graft-versus-leukemia is a stronger effect in Allo, but as you said, GvH can kill, too.

Best wishes in your treatment. My father is in day two of the heavy chemo/radiation.

The fun thing about evolution (and science in general) is that it happens whether you believe in it or not.
