Suzanne,
I'm so sorry to hear that news. But it's a bit of good news that they are talking transplant.
I think I recall that your Mom is 69, which is pushing it, age-wise, at some transplant centers. If they figure her heart can't take induction chemo, then I bet they are considering a reduced-intensity transplant. Sometimes it takes quite a while to find a matched unrelated donor, but sometimes not long at all. Does she have siblings they can test as potential donors?
You said she has a good positive outlook; that will be a great asset in pursuing transplant. And she's lucky to have you looking out for her.
Greg
