Bone Marrow Registry~~~Message from a friend. Please Think of Taking the Test, it's easy
I know that this post does not pertain to the socio-political goings on at Sauble, BUT, I thought I would forward this message on, as I could not figure out how to do it on facecrack. I put it on my personal blog as well. I was not aware of the fact that an at home test was available.
It may benefit someone in the SBP area, or anywhere. Think about it. A friend's father was diagnosed with leukemia, and the test is easy, just a few swabs of your mouth that you can do at home to see if you are a match for his father, or anyone out there suffering with the disease.
Thanks,
Lisa
Bone Marrow Registry~~~Message from a friend. Please Think of Taking the Test, it's easy
A friend's dad was recently diagnosed with Leukemia. In his message he wrote on Facebook:
"Many of you have shown an interest in how you can help, with some asking about the bone marrow registry (One Match Stem Cell and Marrow Network).It is a fairly easy process which is initiated with information located at http://www.onematch.ca and an online registration form. This form is followed by a confirmation phone call to inform and answer any questions you may have about the process. They then send you a Buccal Swab Test (which I have just completed) that has you swab four areas in your mouth. This test is then mailed to their test labs.We really appreciate anyone considering this process. You may be able to give someone a very special gift.Thank you for your support." I.P.

I agree
Lisa - I didn't know the test was so easy - I'm going to do it next week.
Also I encourage all of you to sign your Organ Donation card attached to your driver's licence. My son died waiting for a heart transplant. Signing your card - and making your next of kin aware of this - could save lives too.
