Thanks again, Ruth, and a special thanks to Birgitta-A for the research - all much appreciated. It sounds like a coin-toss really, and this is what my doctors told me. They said if my donor is from Europe is will be bone marrow, if from the States it could be either one. I am pretty confident my donor is from the States because I had so many matches. I have decided to take part in the study and let the method of extraction be chosen for me. I am awaiting a call today to give me an idea of the timeline for Hickman installation, etc. No turning back now! And to Beth, thanks for your positive thoughts and best of luck on your journey as well.
