Also realize that whether to 'Transplant or not' should not be taken lightly...
You need many things to help it go right, including:
good insurance / financial ability
strong support network (family, caregiver)
the right BMT facility (seattle near you...)
good health and attitude
and a good donor is also key...
You have to weight the risks vs. the reward...
For me with 3 young children, there was only one choice...
