Thanks, Ruth! I appreciate your input. I definitely agree with your post and I definitely do not want it to sound like I am questioning anyones work ethic; however, it is so stressful waiting for a donor.
My dad is being treated at KU here in Kansas City. He has been getting great treatment here and he really wants to stay here in KC vs. going out of state for his transplant. We visited Barnes Jewish on Monday and I was soooo impressed with the Siteman Cancer Center and the Dr. we visited with. Barnes is a center of excellence and I am not sure what that means; however, I was so impressed with this place. Did you stay near home for your transplant? Would you recommend someone going out of state for a transplant even if the local Dr.'s who specialize in BMT are saying the same things as far as current and future treatment plans? I would love to know your thoughts.

Jill
