Hi Sandi, when I was looking for a donor I was on the list for 6 months with no match. When it looked like I needed the transplant more urgently they repeated the tissue typing and said they'd start searching the overseas registries. I was a bit shocked to find they hadn't been looking internationally.
Turns out I didn't need it anyway but the whole thing seemed a bit sloppy to me. Then, there's Julie (Victoria) who got a donor match within a month or so......maybe it's just luck.
Regards
Chirley
