I don't have any questions, but as the parent of a leukemia survivor, I just wanted to say thank you. My son never needed a marrow transplant, thankfully, but we saw many families waiting for transplants. You are doing a great thing.

EDIT: I did think of a question: are you technically donating marrow, or just white blood cells? It is my understanding that marrow must be harvested from the bone (and it's quite a painful procedure).

Thanks! I try to stay on top of these kinds of things, even though my son is better. Unfortunately, with cancer, you never know if you're going to need this information again.
