my brother was put into remission for 5 years and then the leukemia came back. I was the donor. I don't recall the exact type of leukemia. i'm asking about a transplant because I'm looking ahead to see what I might have to face. I was wanting to know how the donor is compensated for the donation. my brother was given the bone marrow and the marrow was accepted and was taking hold and producing as it should. as I understand it, he was given too much radiation. I never saw him conscious after the transplant. he was restrained, on pain meds and finally put into a comma or paralyzed. i'm worried about my future.
