Good news, Tracey, and also interesting from Ray's perspective. I went to Ohio State 2 weeks ago for another opinion as my heme/onc wants me to go on Vidaza, and I feel it's too soon, and need to W and W some more. At that time the physician brought up transplant potential down the road. I am 67 now but have an identical twin sister, and she said they would not use her due to age, but perked up when I mentioned my 57 yo brother. (Ohio State transplants up to 75 with reduced intensity). So your donor sounds good and if your team okays them then I would go with it! Trust your team, and may it all go as smoothly as possible.
