"Last chance" describes both the way it was introduced to me by my medical team, and the circumstances around my SCT. I don't know how factually accurate it is, but my medical team had said there's about a 30% mortality rate caused by the SCT within about 90 days. (And, prior to chemotherapy ceasing to work, I'd been repeatedly reassured by medical staff with "chemo sucks but it isn't gonna kill you like a stem cell transplant would!")
