Well...my late dad has leukimia,,,,Doctor suggest Bone marrow when my dad at the age75,....we didnt take it since the chance 50/50or less,...so he just go therapy by medicine..and live the best of his live.He passed away at the age 78,...actually hehas leukimia for about 13-15 years already.
Other case,..a doctor,..friend of our family,..also has leukimia,...he was treated bone marrow surgery,..when he was 70,...and the transplatation surgery was a succesful,...bec he was relatively younger at the age 70,...so has the chance of 60/50..
Now this doctor(pediatric),...very healthy....and still practicing...he is 75 now.
