In general a male is better for a male SCT because the male had never become pregnant and hasn't had to fight off fetuses. I received a 10/10 match from my 66 year old baby sister over a year ago. In the year since SCT, aside for some speed bumps I have been doing pretty well. My other choices were a sister no rug rats who had been cured of cancer and another sister who had 3 children. I also have 3 brothers who all matched each other but not me. The doctor picked my baby sister without hesitation. You may also consider cord blood or MUD, but in the end trust your doctors.
I am 100% engrafted. As I understand I can go commit a crime and leave some blood there and the police will be looking for a female.
