Post by: Roxanne610 on October 29, 2008, 10:13:15 PM

Hello,,,

I have some questions I am going for testing to see if I am a match for my dad, my brother also.  Im 43 my brother 33....We have the same blood match as him now we need to get the antigen test and crossmatch test.

Does anyone know what are the odds we will be a match? My dad also had a liver transplant 13 years ago also.... >:( >:(

I don't know if anyone can guess the odds. Sometimes strangers are a better tissue match than family members, you just never know.
