Great News from Stem Cell Team today!

10 of 11 donors requested from the National Marrow Donor Registry agreed to have their blood tested further to confirm a typing match.  The first 2 are in and are perfect 10/10 matches! They are also a match for other important criteria that normally people don't get to be picky about.  We are still bringing in the other 8 for back ups should a donor not be physically stable enough to donate or the timing of the donation doesn't work with their personal schedule, etc.

Now we just need her to be in remission from this last round of chemo and we can head to transplant!!!  


The fastest we would be in the Transplant Unit is 3 weeks...that's assuming we get Clara's marrow results back tomorrow and she is in remission - which we don't expect.  But, we'll keep you posted!
