   the blast stage is the last stage, generally if he was diganosed in this stage then there is nothing they can do, but try chemo and see if it works at all. But i’m sorry to tell you, generally it is too far along at that point.

   CML. A bone marrow transplant during the early stages of CML offers a chance for cure. However, 20% to 30% of people with this disease die within 2 years after receiving a diagnosis. Another 25% die in each following year. Others may survive another 4 years or more until blast crisis occurs. Most often patients die within 2 months of a blast crisis, but some live another 8 to 12 months with chemotherapy. Interferon-alpha and Gleevec have led to remission in some patients, so there is hope that new treatments will improve the outlook for people with CML.

   The chemo that’s used should put him back in chronic stage. Has he had bone marrow transplant? Or stem cells transplant?
