Rich, there isn't a big problem with an unrelated donor. My donor was a 20 year-old male from Germany. A young donor definitely has advantages. Remember also the statistics have much to do with the physical condition of the patient when having a SCT. The stats include those who are in very serious condition before transplant which limits successful possibilities and outcomes.
