Hi Holly, I was diagnosed in July 2014 at age 49 and have had 6 months CDT followed by an auto SCT in April 2015 and am now recovering from an allo which I had in Oct 2015.
Like yourself I was in remission following my auto but on speaking with my consultant at Manchester and weighing up all the statistics I opted for an allo to hopefully give me further years of being drug free and having a relatively good quality of life. The allo is nowhere near as harsh as the auto and I have had very little GVHD but am currently being weaned off the anti-rejection drugs so still at risk of a bad reaction.
