I'd do it in a heartbeat--IF you qualify. They will not take you if you are not severe enough, which sounds like you may not be right now.
I wish I had done it instead of the reboot, but I only learned about it when I returned from the reboot. I would probably have qualified and would very possibly be living drug free instead of continuing to need some meds. With the SCT, you could live completely drug free!
The chance of reactivation is very low, definitely less than with a reboot. You will not need constant monitoring after the study is completed, and although you will have a slightly increased chance of cancer later in life due to the chemo, it's less than the chance you run with taking the immuno drugs for years and years.
Dr Burt is VERY selective on who he takes. I would trust him with my life, which is basically what you'd be doing. I've been emailing with some gals with MS who have done the SCT study, and they are doing SOOOOOOO well!
Good luck with your decision.
