This was my husband's second transplant at Sloan, during our first 'tour' at Hope Lodge in 2010/2011 they were doing very few cord transplants, but that changed in late 2014/2015 during our second stay after transplant. One person had a double cord with a haplo at Sloan and one of the cords became her donor. The other person had a single cord plus haplo at Cornell and her brother became the dominant donor. Generally they use the haplo as a bridge while waiting for the cord to take hold, but as noted above that does not always happen. They both just celebrated their two year anniversaries and are doing very well. One back to university and the other working full time.
