Thank you @loribmt
I understand the bmt requires a number of tests before approval for the procedure. What tests are required? I am also wondering about finding a donor, I understand there is a large marrow bank - but would like to consider using one of my children even if it’s not 100% match. Do you know if the match preference is female if the patient is female? I’m also curious if once the prep is done and the new marrow put in - are you encouraged to do anything other than be isolated? Thank you again for your help.
I wish I could convey how your reply gives me hope. It is a light in a dark place. The last month has been such a terrible time. I have a wonderful partner but it is still very lonely managing the emotions of a diagnosis. I live in the cities in Minnesota so will be seeing a provider in Rochester. Blessings to you for your beautiful presence here in the Connections forum.
