Kathy and Dennis,
I can't imagine someone doing such a thing when somebody else's life is at stake. I thought donors are carefully screened and repeatedly asked to make sure this doesn't happen but as you and Samantha (sstewart09) learned the hard way, it sometimes does. I suppose there could be a family emergency or sudden health change behind it, but this is awful for you no matter what the reason. Thank goodness it was before chemo began.
The new donor is probably in a different location, so it'll be a different crew who did the screening. They'll no doubt get the job done this time. And an adult is more likely to be in a stable place than a teenager so I think you can trust this donor to come through for you.
