I was diagnosed in June 2008 and four 10/10unrelated donors were found in the following months. I was supposed to have the transplant done right away, then my counts stabilized. Like Ruth, I have had time to absorb the thought of a life-saving transplant. I also have low blasts and complex cytogenics. With the recent finding of Monosomy 7, it is the recommendation of the entire transplant team at Stanford to move forward with my transplant. I begin full body irradiation on May 4th and chemo May 8th. My transplant day is May 11th. I'm beginning to get more anxious as the day approaches, but I am prepared to fight! I wish you the best!
