Hooray for your donor. Blood type isn't that important, but a good HLA match is. I hope he's an excellent match for you.

Neil,
I had done quite a bit of research before I saw my doctor and expected exactly what he told me. I have seen multiple studies that are essentially the same as what he predicts. I think if it were just me in the picture I might not choose the transplant. I might get one last bike (a Goldwing) and make one last ride. I have to consider other people in my decision and have come to terms with the facts.
Cheers
