Donor found!

Good news:

One of the two donors who were already typed to match my genetics has agreed to go through with the transplant!
I found this out after discovering earlier in the day that the other donor backed out. It was especially gratifying when the transplant coordinator called me back a few hours later with the excellent news.
I don't know much else, a date hasn't been picked or anything like that. But surely this will mean a faster transition from chemotherapy to transplant, as all the preliminary testing has been completed.
Such good news to get after a pretty tough week. Makes the bad stuff worthwhile.
