News on Bone Marrow Donor No. 1
The news is in, my sister Carolyn is not a bone marrow donor match. While this is devastating news to all of us, I know I must stay focused on the odds - I still have 2 other siblings who each have a 25% chance of matching. Donna's results will be ready in less than 2 weeks and Brad's in a little over 2 weeks. And, lets not forget about the National Marrow Donor Registry. Admittedly this news shakes my core, but I have tried to prepare for just this kind of let down ever since I first heard the shocking words "you have leukemia". So gang, let's all think good thoughts and get that positive mojo thing going!

Bev - Should all of us on the blog think about getting tested for a match?

IT's Juanita, one down but more to go. You know I am a register donor and God put me here for a reason. Get ready to love Milk Gravey and biscuits and yearn for the Fall Festival. Jimmy and I are here for whatever you know that. Love ya!
ReplyDeleteIt's the mojo that gets positive results, and I think majo for the left coast has especially strong powers. Perhaps this is why we are in this far away land????
