Transplant date - Nov 5th 2014.
Well, my friend (22 years old - white male) who was diagnosed with AA in Oct 2012 is scheduled to have his BMT on November 5th 2014. The Doctor thought that the transplant was a very good option as he had responded to his treatments very slowly and his numbers weren't quite up to a good level yet.
He will start by staying in the hospital while he is given Cytoxan Chemo five or six days prior to transplant. He is scheduled to remain in the hospital for a week or so after the transplant.
He has no parents (both died due to cancer). He has a 12 out of 12 unrelated match donor. He will be staying at Northside Hospital in Atlanta Georgia. After he gets out of the hospital my mother will be taking care of him. He has very little family.
We are scheduled to go to the orientation/education day on Oct 13th or 14th. I am very worried about my friend. I would love to hear any tips or hints on what to expect.
