rar,
I've been told that if any of your sisters 'Didn't' have children (everything else being equal) that they are the better match... Pregnancy/Child birth creates certain antibodies that aren't beneficial to SCT...
Also being in complete remission (after pre SCT chemo) will help your odds with relapse, and with the SCT in general...
SCT is all about the odds, and extending life expectancy, and 8 months is not a long time...
I wish the best for you and your SCT, may everything work out to the fullest (best) outcome... God Bless...
