The thought process was that if I wanted a chance to live a transplant was a necessity. For me it was a simple choice but not a pleasant choice. I was golfing every week and feeling great so to say "let's do it" was difficult. I was given the opinion by my doctor that it would have been ok to wait another three months, but why wait? I had a very good friend diagnosed two months before me and he waited too long and didn't have a chance once he had to go to transplant. These diseases almost never get better with time and can go downhill quickly.
