Nicole got it spot on - it matters where the mismatch is! I had three possible 9/10 donors and the one they chose for me worked out great. I had minimal GVH before day 100, then pretty much nothing after that, apart from some minor eczema. (I also had the mini transplant, and I had hypo-MDS, which is very similar to AA)
