Hey Jody!
There's pretty good evidence out there that the ability of folks to do well after a BMT depends on having a good supportive care network while they are recovering. Folks who have had a transplant, even after they are released from inpatient care at the hospital, have a lot of challenges and need a lot of care.
It could be this is what makes the transplant doc skeptical about a transplant while Trevor is is prison. He may be afraid that there's no way he could get the level of day-to-day support he will need in that environment.
I hope his appointment goes well.
Take care!
Greg
