Yes, it is normal to have more than one stem cell transplant if the cancer relapses. According to my knowledge base:

- Stem cell transplants can be used for people with leukemia that is refractory (resistant to treatment) or relapsed.
- Allogeneic stem cell transplants are commonly used for treating relapsed acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) in adults and children.
- Autologous stem cell transplants can also be used, especially if a matched donor is not available.
