Well it seems that I'm not a close enough match to the patient to be a donor. That really sucks but I hope they found somebody else who was a better match.
Thanks man. I never actually met them but I'm signed up to the Anthony Nolan charity which finds stem cell donors for cancer patients. I went through the first tests but it came back that I wasn't a good enough match. I don't know if that means that there's a better match or if there is no match.
