Bailie - There are 2 centers, one within a 1.5 hour drive (started our journey there and not impressed) and then another that is 3.5 hours; however since he has no MUD we need to use a center that is well versed in cord blood transplants. His transplant doc in NYC helped develop the procedure years ago so we feel comfortable with her knowledge. It seems so odd that during his treatments (whether it is conditioning for SCT or trying to keep the MDS under control), that the doc that knows the most about his disease will be so far away. Educating local treating medical personnel (at a hospital for example) on this disease is exhausting!
