My sister is not a full tissue match so a search started last Wednesday and already 4 potential donors found. All young males which apparently are the best, 1 UK, 3 German. They will be all approached to take new samples to carry out a "high resolution" test to check which is the best match. Should know more in 6 weeks but looking really hopeful.

That's sounding very promising KAS. Hope it works out and thank goodness for the selfless, caring people who volunteer in this way.
Let us know how things go. Best wishes,

It's not till you need the help that you realise what a great thing the donor network do. I am pleased to say that, thanks to friends and family, another couple of hundred people have since joined the registry.
Best of luck
Good news, so pleased for you x
Sending good luck and love.

It feels a bit ironic that I joined the Anthony Nolan drive many years ago, and used to collect printer refills for them when at work. You never know what's round the corner, and thank goodness for that!
Wishing you all good things and restored health.
Wonderful that you have 4 potential donors and that your doctors can be choosy about the final choice.
