Timeline for Stem Cell Transplant
My doctors making preparations for a stem cell transplant for me. On Dec 2, 2015 the stem cell transplant coordinator told me I had "lots of matches out there. We are requesting the confirmatory typing today on several donors." I know I have three days of tests to make sure I am healthy enough for the transplant and will have to see my doctor one more time before being admitted. What I was wondering was how fast this process works. I know it is the holidays and things probably grind to a halt but can some of you share we me how your timeline went once they started looking for donors and found one. Obviously I am just looking for a rough idea - not exact time frames.
Thanks in advance
