Sounds like it was a nice time LFIJ. So how was the beer and did Father in Law make it?

DL, I'm sorry to hear you won't be heading to London.

Me too. I was hoping to live vicariously through you on that one!! But sounds like a good plan to stay stateside.

Beer was AWESOME, SLF. No FIL.

posted in the forum game thread - we have an appointment at U of M 8/12 to discuss Marrow transplant, the time frame for this would be October and will be a month long hospital stay. Assume the search for a match has already begun - we were all typed in February and are not matches.

[LionsFanInJapan]

Would the marrow transplant help to cure him, or is this just another treatment option? Regardless, I hope it all goes well, Coop.

[kayrone]

oh Coop, prayers. Lots and lots of prayers, my friend.

[Malto Marko]

Prayers from the Maltos camp too, Coop!

This. What's the process and how would we go about doing it?

Coop, let us know if there's a specific donor registry drive you might be having.

Meanwhile, guys, you can read here how to join the bone marrow registry:

Great thought Deb....I'm going to look for a similar program this side of the border.

I think we are both out of the running, Cat. Deb's link has an expiration date on which they will keep the info on file.

[DanO]

Thanks for the link Deb.

LFIJ - It is in combination with chemo. We are going to get alot more info on 8/12. I will keep things updated here. Getting typed is a simple blood test.
