The allo report.

I got an update from the allogeneic transplant team this morning. It seems that the two donors they found weren't suitable after retesting. Apparently some of the HLA factors carry more weight than others, so the final analysis showed that these donors are no better than 8 of 10.

So, no allo donors yet. However, there is another donor sample in house now and there's one more on the way this week.

What's my reaction? I'm partly relieved that I don't have to make a decision. Allo isn't scary if I don't have the option. On the other hand, part of me wants to know that the option is available. I wanna have my cake and eat it too.

For now, my blood pressure is staying low.
