**Quick update on things..I went to see Dr. X on 11/2 and he said that my blood counts need to stabilize a little more before I can get the bone marrow biopsy done. He believes that it'll be at least 2 more months before I will get the biopsy. Hopefully shortly after that I can get the groshong catheter removed. I'm a little bummed because I was hoping to get both of these procedures done last week. (I can't wait to take a normal shower without having to worry about the catheter in my chest.) I'm going to spend the next 2 months building up my strength and energy so that I can ease back into "normal" life.
Most of the drives that we have organized have been with the Asian American Donor Program in the San Francisco Bay Area. However there are many other donor recruitment organizations throughout the US that you can contact to get registered if you don't live in the Bay. The organization in Southern California is called Asians for Miracle Marrow Match (A3M). This month they have planned many drives in So Cal and Houston to help me find a match. If you or your friends and family are in So Cal or Houston, please check out A3M's upcoming drives!
