Hello Lori,

Fortunately, I am a 100 % match. The HLA results were 100 % compatible. In this moment, my brother is struggling a lot with the rejection of his son's cells. But we all have hope, including the medical team, that the second transplant can be done and that I can help my brother to give him a new life opportunity. I'm sorry that I took this long in replying. We have been waiting for an improvement in my brother's health to perform the transplant. Thank you for your support and advice. You are great person Lori.

I will let you know when I have any news.

Thank you,
Alberto

Hi Alberto, oh, it’s so good to hear from you and wonderful news that your cells are 100% compatible with your brother. That’s a huge obstacle out of the way when the time is ready for his second transplant.
I’m just so sorry he’s not strong enough yet to get started. But this time, because you’re such a strong match for him, the odds improve drastically for a successful transplant!
It sounds like he has such a wonderful transplant team. From experience I know how attached the members of the team become to their patients. They want a successful outcome too and hate to see suffering. Your brother is a fighter and his team is doing all they can to get him healthy and strong enough to handle this next challenge.

Sending prayers and positive thoughts to you, your brother and family. He’s so lucky to have such a strong support system. I know he can feel the love.
Don’t lose faith…stay strong!! I’ll look forward to hearing from you again soon! Lori.
