My husband has been on "watch and wait" since 2012. He has a brother who is a 10/10 match for bone marrow transplant but they don't want to do it "until he gets sick".
This makes no sense to me, its like he's driving around on bald tires and no one wants to do anything until he has a blowout.
So, instead of doing a BMT on a healthy person, they want to wait until he's sick.
Makes no sense to us either, although maybe it's because there are other very sick people in queue for them.
