One of the hardest part of this journey (transplant process), is knowing that you have two siblings that could be potential donors. I went into this decision head-on last year, not even thinking twice. Like you said before. And then, as time went on...they started realizing the realities of my survival. The transplant doctor told them it was 50/50 and add another 30 percent on that i live with disabilities afterwards. When my sister heard this, she just broke down and completely severed ties with me. She is 16 months younger and (I bet) would be my 100% match. But my brother, at least is testing. Whether or not he ends up donating is a whole different ball game. We just can't lead a horse to water. You know. Today, my local oncologist was extremely surprised when I mentioned (that the donation team told him there is a possiblity that he gets leukemia from the Filigrastem/Neupogen). When i looked up the side effects of the drug, nothing like that is even mentioned in the fine print. No matter how altruistic the "ACT" of donating blood and bone marrow is.... some people will not go thru in the end. I just have to hope the Mayo can find me some unrelated 100 percent (extremely young) match. I have to continue on my journey with all the hope, strenght and courage i can find. 💓
