Great news about your donor!
I understand that feeling of dread that comes when you have to listen to the litany of risks and possible complications associated with having a transplant. Remember that the doctor and hospital are required to tell you absolutely everything that could possibly go wrong. It doesn't mean that any of it--or even a small fraction of it--will happen to you. Once my husband and I had made the decision for me to have a transplant, we listened when the time came and then closed our eyes and signed the consent forms. It turned out very well for me at City of Hope. You are in excellent hands.
Regards,
Ruth
