Summary
What’s so scary about a bone marrow transplant? Not nearly as much as there used to be. The procedure has changed so much that it isn’t even really a bone marrow transplant any more. Modern stem cell transplants rebuild healthy bone marrow in a way that is safer and more effective than ever before, offering treatment options and paths to remission that would have been unthinkable just a few decades ago. In today’s episode, David talks to Dr. Shernan Holtan about why we can replace fear with hope and optimism.
