It was 7 years ago, and the donor was a stranger. A good friend had an auto transplant for lymphoma and it did not take, so he had an allo transplant from his brother. He is doing very well 9 years later. From what I've heard the auto transplants don't seem to work as well, which makes me wonder why they do them.
