Hello Dear Warriors! I'm not a regular writer in this group but I'm a regular reader :) I've decided to post right now because of bone marrow's news you'd mentioned. I'm not sure I've understood, so please give me a feedback. So .. as I've understood .... there is a plan giving money for bone marrow donors in USA, right? It's unbelievable!!!! And it's ironic to me. Let me explain, why do I think so. I live in Poland and I wait for making the HLA test (!) since last year. There is most complicated situation in a healthcare in my country. Generaly there are not enough money not even for bone marrow operation, but for making a HLA qualification. And there is many potential donors in Poland. We all want to be a donors not for money but for a moral comfort. That's why I'm shocked about your information. Please, let me know: there are not enough potential donors in your country?
Please forgive me my English, I know it isn't well but I'm still working about that :) Take care, matin 2010/2/24 Suzieq <[email protected]> > Hello fellow CML'ers: > > This was seen in today's USA Today in front page of their Life > section.
