Hello. My brother was recently tested and ruled out due to boderline blood pressure problems. He was a 6 out of 6 match. The clinic has now suggested we move on to the others in the group. My husband (0 antigen) and my other brother (1 antigen. They are both willing. My question is should I wait for somebody with more antigens? The clinic says I don't need to. The only difference is the qty of immunosuppression I would require. Any thoughts on this?
