Hello Aus
we got unrelated cord blood matches through Stemcyte.As 6/6 hla matching is not mandatory while using cord blood we found 3 matches and Dr. Jaing took a decision about which to use.
All of Dr.Jaings thallasemic patients are transfusion independent,oldest being 14 yrs of age.....so you can see he is a excellent doctor and the risk is low as compared to a unrelated bone marrow transplant
you could write to Judy Kang who is the co-ordinator of stemcyte Taiwan regarding a match.just provide her with your childs HLA typing.her e-mail is    jkang@stemcyte.com
you could also write to Dr.Jaing for guidance....his e-mail is........jaing001@cgmh.org.tw
I am positive you too will get a match for your son...just keep the faith and keep persevering  thats really important.We too had been running from pillar to post the  whole of last year.....I know it is tough..all the best
