Mel--
This thread is old, but just in case.....One item about jobs, money, etc after transplant: There are certain health conditions that are automatically approved for Social Security benefits as a disability. Bone marrow transplant for aplastic anemia is one of them, as you will definitely not be able to work for a period of time. This means you can get some payment as a disability benefit for a certain amount of time (I know for sure up to one year post transplant--not sure of ending of benefit). This info is on the Social Security website.
