Yea same here Goos I checked but nothing close enough that I can do it feasibly at the moment

I also sent out info through my professional contacts so hopefully that raises a little awareness and I can guilt a few into participating

Ripper,

Your a good man, I'm terribly sorry to hear about your friend, I will do my best to add to the list of donors through friends and family. A wonderful cause for a sad moment, I wish your friend well!

Link has been added to my sig.

I have a friend that lost his mother to cancer and is now on the verge of losing his father as well to it. My prayers go out to your friend Ripper.

I lost my Aunt a few years back to cancer. My sincerest condolences OP, it really is a terrible thing.

I may not be able currently to donate anything, but that wont stop me from helping to get the word out.

Ive added the link to my sig as well as updated my current sig picture to tell people to check it out. Hopefully someone will see that flashy piece of crap and stop by and check it out.

My friend has not found a donor as of yet. He is still feeling healthy though.
I thank you all for your support
You all are awesome!

I'm sorry I can't do anything man. I know what you are going through: My best friend just died of cancer, and another was diagnosed with Leukemia (A vast moving cancerous kind that is virtually untreatable). I know what you are going through and if I can do anything I will.

Not getting down on you at all for this post, just wanted to make it a point of education for everyone. There is something people can do for people with blood cancers that is not financial. Add yourself to the Bone Marrow transplant registry:

http://bethematch.or...arrow-registry/

I am in remission for 2 1/2 years now from Leukemia. I am very luck for two reasons.

1) I did not need a transplant as the Chemo was enough for me (very Rare)
2) If the Chemo had not done the trick, I am lucky I had four siblings in which one was a perfect match for a bone marrow transplant.

Im lucky because if the chemo did not work and I did not have a sibling that was a match, my prognosis would not have been good. The Be The Match registry is a place where ordinary people can have their blood and marrow tested and matched with possible people who need transplants. Your essentially helping to save someones life if you have a match.

OP, please PM me if you have any questions on fund raising and such as my family was very successful when I was in the hospital.

Still no change. Still no donor but he is remaining healthy. Time is running out though. Could be later this year or early next year that his condition would turn for the worse and become untreatable.

[Alaskan Nobody]

Well he is in my prayers.

Let him know we are rooting for him!

This is an update about my friend. Still no donor match. His spleen is enlarged and causes him pain but does not stop him from doing things. Other than that is is keeping healthy as much as he can.

I would "like" the post.... but that sounds so painful.
