I am self donating. .

But don’t think I didn’t torture my brother for almost a year about his offer to donate to me.

He was quite young and he had colon cancer that had progressed. He had young kids. His only hope was a bone marrow transplant which was experimental and insurance didn't pay for it. General Motors approved the procedure and paid for it...and he is still healthy. I believe all these years later the procedure is likely much better...good luck!

You were here when I vented my anger and frustration when the unit closed down an my transplant was delayed, because of the Covid surge.

Not to mention the 💕.

now. I need to find a replacement.

I just went over the 60 age limit after being on the registry for as long as I knew about it. I never got the call.
