Testing overseas siblings for a match.
Bailie,
After hearing that your donor's blood was flown in from Germany, I'm researching to see how I can know if my siblings are a match or not. The doctor mentioned that their blood could be flown in to Tokyo for testing. I have two in Vietnam, one in Australia and one in the US.
Actually I'm Vietnamese, born '65 in Saigon, and research stated that belonging to the "ethnic minority", the percentage of finding one in the Donor bank is lower, siblings will have a higher percentage of being a match.
I will ask the doctor about the procedures because I don't want to be caught waiting because of any technicalities.
So I was wondering if anyone on this forum has been through the procedures of testing overseas siblings for a match?
