I appreciate your comments. It is a tough decision. The element of age and donors has made it difficult for me. If I had three or four donors lined up I would be tempted to play out the string longer and then go to transplant. But, I am a very difficult match and the two matches I have are both international. I am planning to go ahead with the transplant and give it my best shot. Another important part of this is my blast count. I will have a BMB in a couple of weeks. If the blast count is still elevated it could affect the timing of the transplant. I am still wondering how my blood counts could improve so much without affecting my blast count. Hopefully I will see movement in the blast count with the next BMB.
