Thanks so much for writing, Neil. I don't know who the donor would be. I have a brother who doesn't share any of the diseases I have as well as my father who is a very healthy and active 81. I do still continue to run, swim, and stay pretty active - except of course during treatment weeks and the week that follows. On those days, I just listen to my body and do what makes sense. I'm looking forward to my appoint on 7/9 to hear what my options are. I find it more difficult to work on treatment weeks as well as the week after. During these weeks, I seem to have no short-term memory which makes doing a good job at work a bit more of a struggle than it normally would be (I'm a teacher). Thanks to everyone on this formum for their support and expertise. I will, indeed, share what the doc says. My father is going to the appt with me to lend his support.
