relapse question
After many years in the donor registry, I amazingly matched to donate PBSC to someone completely unrelated and unknown to me who has MDS. Everything was set to go--and then I learned that this person had a relapse, and the donation had to be postponed.
What does this mean, exactly? What is the chance that this person will get well enough to have the transplant? I know every case is different, but just wondering if there is a possible good outcome. I cannot imagine how difficult this must be for the recipient, finding a match but not being able go through the procedure.
