Turning and turning in the widening gyre...
The Falcon cannot hear the falconer
Auto or Allo? In-patient or out-patient? BEAM or CBV? In state or out-of-state? If out-of-state, where to go? MD Anderson? Seattle? Minnesota? How to pay for it?
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world...
Will I ever play again? Make it back to school? Get on my feet? Where will I find health insurance once I turn 25? Children's or P/SL? Will my siblings match? Will CCM drop me?
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed and everywhere
The ceremony of the innocence is drowned;
Is ICE working? Even if this works how much time does it buy? Is this reasoned or simple chaos?
Turning and turning in the widening gyre...
Glad that is out of the way. Time to get up and get on with things. The time for feeling sorry for one's self is over...

Hi. I received your PM last week and I wanted to send you more information but did not have your email. Here's a link to the "Survivor's Guide for a Bone Marrow/Stem Cell Transplant" that may help you: http://www.nbmtlink.org/documents/sg.pdf
It has lots of information on what to expect and how to get through it. Wishing you the best on your upcoming SCT.
Best Regards,
Anne
Hi Darrel, the crossroads you are standing at are scary but they too shall pass and you will gain more confidence as you walk the chosen path. I too had to choose between Auto or Allo and I ended up with Auto though my only brother is a perfect match (10 out of 10). I am confident it was right for me and my doctors feel the same. You are young and you will beat this once again, this time forever! Just keep the faith and keep doing what you love. Anne already sent you a ton of info -- read up on it!
All the best and let me know if you choose to come to MDA - perhaps I could help in some way.
