Thank you for asking the question. Adult children can be a match for their parents. If not a full match, they can be a half match. Here is a webinar to watch about haploidentical transplants for MDS, www.aamds.org/webinar/haploidentical-transplant-mds.

The reason I ask is I have been dealing with this myself for about 2 years. It is just now developing a bone blast and we are looking at possible chemo and stem cell treatment. I am almost 61 yrs old. My youngest daughter said she would donate if needed. My brother is almost 68 yrs old . My doctor did not really want to use him . This has been a ride up and down for 2 years. I have just now been told this was possible leukemia. Thank you for the video you posted it was very informative and helpful. , @@AAMDSIF
