Oh my goodness, @babettevroman! What a rollercoaster of emotions for you! I’m so sorry to hear about your two donors not being able to commit. It’s incredibly frustrating to be living on the edge like that when you get your hopes up! Plus having relocated for the duration and now your return home is delayed. On the plus side, Rochester is a nice place to spend your days but it’s not Washington state…or home.

There are so many of us in the forum who have had bone marrow transplants and know the anxiety of waiting for a donor match. I certainly hope the next donor search yields someone who will honor the commitment and follow through for you.
Feel free to commiserate with us here! May I ask what was your diagnosis that led to requiring a transplant? Did you have all your cancer treatments in Rochester too?

My diagnosis is Hepatasplenic Tcell Lymphoma. I’ve had all my treatments here in Rochester and have been here since 4-15. Going home has not been an option as the treatments were too close together to warrant a 1800 mile drive home! And after treatments were supposedly over I was to have a transplant.
