marrow donor needed. . . again

So I finally made it to Hackensack today to find out what they want to do to me.

My previous donor is unavailable, so the plan of just feeding me more lymphocytes is out the window, which sucks a lot.

It sucks a lot because it means I have to have another bone marrow transplant.

I remember the first one sucking, so I don't think this one will differ much.

The thing I don't know is if they will attempt to match the new marrow or the old marrow. I do know that my DNA will change, yet again.

So I need a new donor. Hey, you know what? The National Bone Marrow Registry is in the middle of a "Marrowthon" where it's no cost to register. FREE! How cool is that? You get to possibly save a life AND it doesn't cost you anything! Go NOW to www.marrow.org.

There are three drugs that I may be taking but I can't remember the names. Probably start by the end of this week.

I'm tired. More later.
