I just got an update from the SCCA on my allogeneic transplant.
They found two 9 of 10 donors.
Apparently the donors have already submitted new samples to the lab. This means they didn't reconsider their donation status (chicken out). HLA testing and retesting is currently underway at the SCCA lab.
So what are my feelings at this moment? Elated and scared to death. Elated at the opportunity, scared of the outcome. Ed and I have to talk about this.
There are no guarantees in the results yet because there's not been confirmation from the lab, but when you're told there probably won't be a match at all, and they come back with two, it's a shocker. I think Ed and I had our heads wrapped around me living out my days on a maintenance program. Now we have to revisit the scary options.

This blog is written by and about a guy with an incurable form of cancer. My purpose here isn't to say "woe is me", but to give insight about my thoughts, perspectives, and experiences throughout this adventure. My name is Andre. My partner's name is Ed. I intend to publish on a pretty regular basis here, but Ed might occasionally pop in with his thoughts too.
