My unrelated donor transplant was in 1998. I met my donor in 2000. You can read the details on my Profile.

Although I don't know her very well, I don't think we have very much in common except for the crucial 12 HLA antigens that we share. I'm often asked if I "inherited" allergies or food likes/disklikes from my donor, but I have not. On the other hand, we both have an intense dislike of peas so maybe we overlap at more than those 12 antigens!

Regards,
Ruth
