For those truly interested, contact the NMDP(link above). They will refer you to your local blood center or other group who can arrange DNA testing. It has been made as simple as possible. We collected a young lady today referred by NMDP and her cells are going to someone with chronic myelogenous leukemia. The donors truly feel great about their involvement. In addition to this appeal, pregnant women need to consider donating cord blood from their placentas. The NMDP also is very interested in this. A contact can put you in touch with a center if one exists in your area.

Join The Registry
A person of any race, ethnicity or gender who is 18 to 60 (up until 61st birthday) years old and who meets donation health guidelines can become a potential volunteer donor.
Before you join the National Marrow Donor Program® (NMDP) Registry, be sure you have all the information you need to make your decision:

Maybe one day we'll get that call. For now let's see if you and I can each talk someone into joining NMDP.

Good deed in need of do-ers, ping; though the dreaded "C" word takes me out of the donor pool.
To: SandRat
Been on the bone marrow donor registry since 1993 and looking foward to being called to donate someday!

Sorry Coop I would have to turn back the clock!
I got many midnight calls for 0 negative blood, but those have stopped now too. I guess I had my turn.

I became interested in marrow donation when my mother went through an autologous(self) bone marrow transplant as part of an experimental cancer treatment. Then I registered about 10 years ago when a friend was diagnosed with Leukemia.
Our local Leukemia Society sure didn't make it easy. You had to be persistent in calling them to find out when the local drives were scheduled, because they wouldn't take your information on a call list and contact you when drives were coming up. I hope by now they've changed to make it more donor-friendly.

Most days I have to look in the mirror to realize I am not still 40-50. Never feel older than that.
Well, after I chase a 3 year old around for a day...maybe!

Before I ask what you're doing on the morrow, I mean marrow..
Early one morning I was alone in the kitchen reading a recipe for an oriental dish and I wondered aloud, "I wonder what tamari (a sesame oil, I later found out) is?" When I heard my oldest (who grew up down south) reply from behind me, "Tuesday."
LOL!
I'll send out some emails, too, Coop, about the marrow registry. Thanks!
