It has been 76 days since the transplant and still no word from the patients doctor. Delete Blood Cancer has asked again for an update, hopefully we will hear something soon. I am hoping that they are progressing well as the important 100 day milestone approaches.
I did get some good news, the Bone Marrow Drive at Microsoft in Las Colinas, Texas, will happen on June 24th. Delete Blood Cancer will be there to help me register potential matches at work. Microsoft has even offered to pay for the processing costs of anyone that registers at this event! Delete Blood Cancer normally pays for the processing of the cheek swabs from donations, but Microsoft will donate the funds necessary for this! Many people never know the good things that Microsoft does behind the scenes, helping out at so many levels with charities.
This past weekend, I was wearing my 'Bone Marrow Donor' shirt provided by Delete Blood Cancer, and a man introduced himself to me while eating lunch at a restaurant in the hospital district in Fort Worth. His 13 year old son was diagnosed with AML three week ago and they were there to start chemo therapy. I shook his hand and wished them luck. He seemed in very good spirits. I felt really bad inside knowing the hard journey ahead of them, but deep down I know things are going to work out for them.
