My husband was fortunate enough to have a sister and a brother 10/10 match.
One center told him they would not consider testing much alone transplanting his sister. Another said no worries. After looking at everything the Dr decided to use his sister rather than brother as they both were CMV negative and his brother was positive. So one never knows. Sometimes you need to be sure you are being treated where they see many MDS patients and do many successful transplants.
Having a Dr you trust, can engage in open dialogue and can work with is very important. Also compliance on your part is HUGE!
Good Luck in the future.
