Hi - I had a call from a lady that had her transplant 3 yrs ago where I am gonna have mine. She told me that her two sisters did not match and her donor came from Germany. A 19 yr old girl, and the cells were flown back here and transplanted to her. She has had a wonderful response - also I have heard alot of donor cells come from Europe because it is a law there to give DNA when they get their drivers license (?) I have not heard that the risks were higher - your doctor knows where they are coming from but may not have been up on all the details at the time. They may have had a couple of choices and he may not have been sure which one they choose at the time. Just speculation but I would try not to worry I would be happy. :-)
