Transplant unlikely

Thanks for your kind words. The transplant unit has been searching for a donor for a while now, but my doctor says I am a difficult match, given my mixed heritage. AND, even if
a match were found, he said we would need to have a long talk about risks/benefits. Some people I know have done we after BMT but they tend to be younger. I'm a youthful 65! Are you a candidate for BMT?
