Thank you Neil and Laura.

It is SO hard to think about anything else, but BMT. I don't know much about the donor yet. I'm waiting for the hospital to call me about my next appointment, which my Dr said will be in the next 2 weeks in the transplant unit... and answer my many questions. Still just processing it all. I didn't think they would find someone so soon.

I have some complicated decisions to make also. My family and possible support people are in Queensland and I'm in Victoria. I may have to move back to Brisbane (Qld) for the procedure. I'm guessing that BMT isn't something you would want to do on your own.

Lots to think about and organise. Step at a time...
