Generally speaking, the ideal candidates for bone marrow matching are relatives.
However, Xuanxuan’s close relatives did not find a complete match in the matching type, and they were all semi-matched. It would be better to be a fully compatible donor for transplantation.
Therefore, the doctor recommended that Xuan Xuan's family be matched through the Chinese bone marrow bank.
Fortunately, after the comparison, a kind donor was matched in the China Bone Marrow Bank.
"The good-hearted person is about to start a physical examination. Once the conditions here are met, he can donate stem cells." Ms. Li told the Ziniu News reporter that what they are most worried about now is medical expenses.
