Best of luck, Jill, and please keep us posted on your progress.

Ruth, thank you! Your posting does help.

I had a BMB today (which went well with little pain) and will get the results on Tuesday. I have been scheduled for a consult with the transplant dept. head at University of Maryland on May 13 to discuss my options. I did a preliminary search on the Be the Match site which showed 103 potential 6/6 donors. This is a very high level search but at least gives me an idea that there are potentials out there. I need to do my homework and be ready with lots of questions when I see the doctor next month.
