Mine only took a couple of weeks, if I remember correctly, and that involved a bunch of international paperwork, because my brother was HLA matched in the States, who then sent the results over to the Anthony Nolan Trust in the UK for analysis/comparison against mine.
But we were all fairly certain he wasn't a match, as my parents thought they'd tried that in 1984...
