Hi Sandi,
I think it took about six months to find a matched, unrelated donor for me. The time may have been shorter but I think the active search was put on hold when I switched to a different transplant center. I had the transplant 11 months after my initial diagnosis at Johns Hopkins which is just about an hour from my home. When I mentioned my "journey" I meant it in a philosophical way, not literally.
