hello Linda I am So very sorry for your loss. In our case my brother had chromosome 13 and 11 deletions. We have discovered that velcade has the ability to provide almost the same response as a patient with no chromosome abnormalities. Like Keven mentioned in the previous post the match may be in the bone marrow registry. This is best for my brother because a sibling or close match could identify the myeloma and structure an attack against the cancer. HLA match is best to help with the posability of graft vs host and this is life threatening in itself. Any other match may outweigh GVHD because ALLO will be short lived.The super computer at Yale must be like some kind of monitoring , administering.,controling device and it is a good tool to do the most damage to the cancer and supply the stem cells at a very controled level. No matter what multiple myeloma is a very serious cancer and at this time unstoppable......Some day Nano technology will be the cure for cancer all together as man could build micro machines that could be injected into the body and these man made cells could be programmed to Kill certain cells !! or they could be programmed to instruct the body to identify cancer and launch a attack against it. This may sound like a dream but it is being researched at this time.Cancer is not a smart disease the only way it can flurish is because it is unidentified by the bodys ammune system and the body "Thinks" it belongs there, form that point on the body makes (in this case) monoclonal cells exponentally .once the body is "duped" the most powerful defense system  we have is used against us. Cancer Sucks
