Be The Match

bethematch.com (Operated by National Marrow Donor Program ). Has an extensive list of survival rates by disease type at each center. Unfortunately they're one year survival rates. I couldn't find 2,3,5 year survival rates or anything more than that one statistic. No stats for gvhd or anything else for that matter.

Your son is young. Young adults seem to have fewer complications.There is a member on here who's son had a 9/10 match and he had no GVHD came through nicely and you'd never know he had the transplant.

You have nothing to lose by calling Johns Hopkins and for BMT you want the odds in your favor and the best hospital possible so staying close to home is a personal decision but if your odds are better 12 hours away...

All the best
