NWR: My FH was a bone marrow donor one year ago and yesterday he got...

A card from the recipient! I wont write exactly what the card says but he said,' you're my hero, I feel 20 years younger, I have NO measurable disease at this time, I surely would have died without you. Etc!!!' I almost cried reading it!! It was hard for FH last year beforehand. He had to make frequent trips into the city, give himself 3 shots a day of something and had horrible side effects, but he did it and IT WORKED! The man is alive!!

They will get to meet in June! I cant wait! Were all so happy!

thanks! We cant wait to meet him. All we know is its a man, we dont know anything else. They are only allowed to talk through cards and the cards have to go through the registry first. Its going to be so exciting!

Thats a great story with a great ending. My DH did the same for someone but they didn't make it and he found out a year later. It is sad but at least he did everything he could have for the person.
Im glad your FH had a great outcome. Congratulations on saving someones life.

My DH was too - about 7 months before our wedding and the recipient didn't make it. I'm so glad to hear that this person's life was saved! It was so great of your FH to donate .

It is an amazing gift to give. I am sure meeting the recipient of the bone marrow will be an amazing experience. This is why I am a blood donor. Unfortunately I pierced my navel last summer and I have to wait at least a year before I can donate again.

WOW! Its great to hear there are some genuinely GOOD people out there--and both your fiancee and his recipient sound like they are in that category. Clearly, you have yourself a winner. Thanks for the happy news!
