The last chemo was not too bad. I have been taking B12 and Vitamin C and drinking lots of water to try to keep my red blood cells up. So far I think it's been working. I feel a bit worn down but nothing like a few weeks previous to this one. I only have 5 more chemo's left!!!! I can't believe I am getting close to being done! During the 4th of July week I will get my chemo on Thurs the 5th. So then I will start getting chemo on Thursdays. For insurance purposes, you have to wait a week between chemos. Or they said I could skip a week and go back to Wed.....NOT!!! I want to get it over with!!
Nancy Webb (a friend here in Eldora) has a sister, Kris Miner, who has been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of Lymphoma and is in desperate need of a bone marrow transplant to survive. We are trying to help get the word out about how easy it is to register to be a donor, and how simple it is to possibly save a life.
Click one of the links below, you will have the opportunity to register to be a bone marrow donor. You will receive a mouth swab kit in the mail that you will use and send back. That is all you have to do to be registered. (If you are 18-45 and are Dutch or German, this increases the likelihood you are a match!)
The website to the National Marrow Donor Program is:
The link for Kris Miner’s supporters to join is:
Please take 5 minutes and register. It would be greatly appreciated by me, Nancy Webb’s family, and every other family who has someone waiting for a match.
