@loribmt Slight delay with the donor, transplant now scheduled for March 18. We live in the Seattle area and the conditioning will be outpatient at FHCC and the transplant at UW Medical center, Montlake. Still optimistic in spite of this additional delay

Hi @alxlo1 A delay is better than a cancellation. ☺️ There is time commitment for the donor. Before stem cell collection they usually can expect 5 days of daily injections to ramp up stem cell production. Not every donor lives in an area where the cells can be collected according to protocol so they may end up traveling to a destination.
And then of course there is the harvest day which can take 4 to 8 hours or more before completion. After collection, the cells are then quickly transported to your location! Most often that involves air travel. So the donation process, from donor to transportation to receiving facility and your transplant team, has to take all of that into account. Sometimes the planets don’t quite align and adjustments are made with timing.
You won’t get to know much about your donor except their age, sex and country. Do you know if your donor is from the US?
