Well, here's a disturbing update. Good news was another 10-for-10 match, CMV negative, was found who was available. Like the other donor, this one is a male in his early 20s. Bad news: my husband's mega labs earlier this week uncovered a very recent infection of CMV. Apparently, Moffitt's physician on call in the hematology unit neglected to check the "CMV negative" box, so hubby received blood that was CMV positive. Very, very upset about all this. He was in the heme unit to receive CLAG to lower his blasts in preparation for transplant. He received 2 platelet and 2 RBC transfusions while in-patient. So, now we're told it's best to have the positive donor. He was tested again, and now cannot be tested for another 2 or 3 weeks, and the doctors feel he doesn't have time to wait.
