Dear Alison,
I am so sorry about your Dad and pray he finds a donor. I am a big advocate of cord blood banking. Please learn about it at
www.cordofhope.com.
My Dad is too old for a transplant as he just turned 71. We all just found out yesterday that the drug we have been using for years to build his white blood cells is now doing something weird in his body where he could die getting the shots. He will die without them. So we are in a dilemna. My mom who has been giving him the shots is so afraid now to give them to him.
We all had a good cry yesterday and don't know what are options now are . . . Feel my hug from across the ocean . . . and know my heart is with yours during this difficult time . . . Please keep me updated on your Dad and you and know I am here for you . . .
God Bless,
Donna
