MaryAlisha, I can understand your frustration that it seems to take so long to determine when a transplant can take place even after potential donors have been identified. Unfortunately, it can be a very long and tedious process to actually locate a potential donor whose contact information or status as as a possible donor may have changed. It also takes time to arrange for potential donors to come to their donor center for tests, get the test results, and compare results from multiple donors to determine which is the best match. Only after a donor is selected does the process of actually coordinating the donation and the transplant begin. I do know that is important for you to stay in touch with your sister's donor coordinator so her case doesn't slip through the cracks. You want them to be pushing forward at all times and not accepting any delays that are not absolutely necessary.
We all hope this process will go as fast as possible for your sister so you can all start working on her recovery.
Regards,
Ruth
