the last few days up to the arrival of the donor cell, and first few after, were the tough ones. Glad it had gone okay for you. I wrote to my donor on the day I got her cells but could not share any info, just say thanks for being there. I wrote again at one and two years before following through to meet her.

Stay positive and join those of us here who have been through it and now help others. Best wishes. Chris (with the Princess Leia stem cells)

Sending all my best wishes to you both.My SCT should start next month, I have 3 good donor matches @ 12/12 so feeling very grateful and also somewhat apprehensive.

Just like you, am very thankful for the hero's that are donors.

Stay strong and positive.
