Subject: my son has CML

Dear Eric, I have followed your story for some time and feel hopeful that my 34 year old son will be cured.  He had a stem cell translant May of 2006.  His brother was the donor.  The cancer has returned and presently he is on the new taget drug called Tasigna (a step-up from Gleevec).  The drs. are talking about a possible transplant again.  Please tell me how you secured your umbilical cord transplant -what drs. helped you- I know you said it was from an Italian baby girl.  What is the drs. name in Minnesota?  Any information you can share with me will be greatly appreciated.  Stay well and God Bless you.
