British grandmother is oldest person to donate stem cells via telegraph.co.uk
A British grandmother has become the oldest person ever to donate stem cells - to save her younger brother's life.
Erica Henderson, 75, has been allowed to transfer her cells to Paul Hallowes despite being too old under medical guidelines.
Mr Hallowes, 69, had been diagnosed with leukaemia and a high dose chemotherapy had severely impaired his body's ability to produce blood cells.
