No Sibling Match

Hey everyone,

I hope you are all doing well. I am here sweating like a waterfall as they haven't turned the ac on in the building yet. We are hoping it is one sometime next week. Dora even doesn't like the heat, she spends most of her days and nights lying on the floor in front of the sliding doors.

Yesterday I was at PMH beginning my next round of intensification and had a doctor appointment. We found out some news that is a little disapointing. Dr Schuh informed us that neither of my siblings were a genetic match to proceed with the related bone marrow transplant. It is a little disapointing because we can't move forward and complete these treatments quickly. Dont' worry I am not taking it too hard. The percentages of one of them being a match was very low so I didn't have my hopes to high. Now we have initiated the un-related bone marrow search to proceed with the transplant in that manner. So everyone who isn't registered in the one match database and can be please go out and register. Even if you aren't my match, you might be someone else's match and have the oppurtunity to save someone else's life.

Well I am off to brave the outdoors and enjoy the beautiful weather. I will try to write another message tomorrow.

Enjoy your day,

Aaron
