As a potential donor, you are definitely not a Nobody. I was diagnosed w/ a rare disease in the Spring of 2011 and it was decided that I was a good candidate for a transplant. A perfectly matching donor was found for me within 4-5 mos, but the actual transplant was not performed until December of 2011. I was told that in some instances multiple potential donors may be found if it is determined that a back-up donor may be required. In respect to myself, the donor was such a good match that there was no reason to find a back-up donor. I have never met my donor, but I was able to thank another donor at the hospital/ clinic where I go who was donating for a stranger.
