I asked the same question of my nursing team last week since my cross match tests were still saying B+ even though my last BMB confirmed I had 100% donor cells in my marrow (my donor is O+). I was just told that it takes "a while" for your blood type to switch over to your donor's, which was a surprise to me! I'm on day 64 today and still my original type, for reference. Maybe a long time transplantee can chime in when theirs changed?
