I am so sorry.
TubaDiva, I’m so sorry for your loss.
You’ll be in my thoughts as I donate on Monday.
Terrible news; I’m sorry, Tubadiva. It’s awful, not just losing a friend, but knowing that there’s probably someone out there who could have helped but didn’t know to get in the database.
A bone-marrow transplant saved the life of my and Improv_Geek’s mother this summer; the donor wasn’t a perfect match, but appears (so far) to have been close enough.
Sign up and get in the registry, everyone.
I’m so sorry to hear this outcoime for him and you and the others in his life.
I had one friend that got bone marrow and is doing fine years later, and another that couldn’t get a match, and died. It’s heart breaking to sit around waiting for a donner that may never show up.
I am so sorry, TubaDiva.
