I had a 10/10 match from an unrelated donor. I believe that a related sibling match lessens the chances, and or severity of GVHD. The nurse coordinator that I worked w/ sd that I had the absolute best match possible. She also told me abt the testing that was done pre-transplant, and what interactions between the donor and recipient may occur. Thinking about this 5 yrs later, I am assuming that she was referring to GVHD, but she did not use that term with me. It is true that most dr's want to see at least some GVHD to show that your new immune system is engrafting as it should.
