I am Portuguese and may need a bone marrow transplant in the future. Will my brothers and sister have to come from Portugal to be tested?

Your brothers and sister could come over to the UK be tested. Or, your specialist may contact specialists in Portugal to arrange to have your brothers and sister tested there. The results could be sent back to your doctors in the UK, to see if one of them is a suitable donor.
