Excellent comments Paul. One additional comment for someone who hasn't been through this is, there is no pain involved in the procedure. I slept through mine. There is just the tired/exhausted feeling that carries with a person for a few weeks/months. Also, I think almost everyone (and families) consider the transplant the right decision even if it doesn't work out well.
