Hi Bergit,
8000? Wow, that's really high. I hope mine doesn't get any higher than it already is. I am in the US. My donor was in Germany, although they will remain anonymous for at least a year. Thanks for the information. I did have a MUD. More details are on my blog, url in my signature below. I'm not sure what you mean that one would not be sufficient? It is normal procedure at Johns Hopkins. I received a large bag of marrow, over 1300 ml as I recall. There's a photo in my gallery on the blog.
Karen
p.s. Feel free to Email me if you have more questions.
