No Matches on Siblings
We received disappointing news today. With so many "odds" in our favor, they tested 5 of 6 siblings and NONE of the matched! We were so expecting a match... and shocked that None matched. The 6th sibling donated her blood for testing, but, she had rececieved nuclear radiation years ago for thyroid cancer treatment. The doctor was reluctant to consider her at all. They may test it now that none of the others matched, but, we're not sure. Not sure if it would be smart to receive her SCTs if a match?
We'll see. We'll keep you updated on progress....
Hugs, Cindy
