Also they said they would be using fresh donor cells not frozen but that they would be flown in? Does that sound right?
I'm kinda wondering how they know they will be flown in but still unsure if the donor is over seas or in the U.S.A?
Any info is so appreciated!
Heather, What kind of SCT is your husband having? You mentioned radiation in another post. Is it a "mini" transplant? Did you ask your doctors why there would be slightly higher risks from a European donor?
Thanks, Steve
