Having been thru an Autologous (my own stem cells fed back to me) transplant
myself, I ran into many people, from 2 year old kids to mid 60's, that were
undergoing Alogenaic (Donor cells)at The Fred Hutch who wouldn't have  made
it 6 months without the registry..Yes, a Bone Marrow Biopsy is not pleasant
(have had 4 so far) but when you see the fight and then the smiles on the
faces of the recipients, you would be amazed at their inner strength and a
good portion make it into remission.
Take the leap and arrange to be a donor and you will never regret it I
guarantee.

Excellent post Roger. I encourage ALL people to register as a bone marrow
donor. It isn't fun, but it can save the life of a loved one, as all people
are loved by someone out there.
