donor backed out

First I want to thank everyone for their support.

We found out today that my husbands donor has changed his mind. Dennis was scheduled to have his port in this Friday and then be admitted for induction chemotherapy Monday April 8th.

We are sick about it.

The coordinator says there is another donor who is a 50 yr old male, same blood type, 10/10 match. He has to do some testing now and hopefully this will only push things back a week.

I know he is fortunate to have a backup donor, its just the mental anquish..the waiting is really draining...now I completely understand why this has to be annoymous. I'm not having very nice thoughts about the 19 yr old backing out.

Thanks for letting me vent.
