The way it was explained to me is that there are pros and cons to donation from an young stud vs. an old sister. After all is said and done they balance out. A young brother is the best. My sister produced 1.5 times the number of cells needed for a transplant. There was a choice to freeze, or give me the excess. The doctor decided to give them to me. I wonder what the doctor would do if after getting chemo and TBI my sister did not produce enough cells?
