My stem cell transplant doctor's office called us on Thursday to come in today for an appt. It turns out they have another 9/10 match, but this one is a 56 yo female. We were concerned because of the age (she is only a year younger than me) since they had already told us they prefer male donors younger than 40. But the dr. seemed to be quite certain this would be a very good, but not great match. Anyone have experience with an older donor?
Tentatively, I start the testing Aug. 24th, and start the chemo Sept 14th, with the transplant on the 19th. They have to check dates with the donor first.
I still am feeling good, but they took me off the Augmentin today because my Liver Panel numbers were high. Hopefully that will take care of the IBS I have been having too. It doesn't look like I will be going back to work before the transplant
