Three to eight more weeks

I got the buccal swab (an oral swab like you see on the crime shows on TV, except you're supposed to swab each swab for ten seconds, and each in a different part of your mouth) kit in the mail today to do further typing to see if I'm a bone marrow match. Apparently I'm a match on HLA-A and HLA-B, which was all the typing information that was available from when I registered fifty million bajillion years ago. If I'm understanding the numbers correctly, there's about a 1 in 12 chance that I'll match enough to donate. Bonfils said that it takes three to eight weeks for the rest of the typing to be completed.
