I am so depressed about Sameer. I volunteer for the NMDP and worked many of the drives in the SF Bay Area for them. I am a grandmother of a 12 year old with AML (www.caringbridge.org/visit/joshuamaligro), he too has relasped and needs a match, but because he is mixed, it will be nearly impossible to find. I have followed Sameer, Vinay and others to give me hope that victims of this monster (AML) have greater chances of survival. My heart is very heavy today as one more has fallen to the AML beast. I am now worried about Vinay as his web page is not working. I pray he is still healthy.

God Bless you both, Vinay and Sameer. Our prayers are with you. You will emerge strong from this, just as you did before.

Minorities like us NEED to get registered in the national bone marrow registry! Currently, there is still a shortage of minority bone marrow donors, making it much much harder for South Asians to find a life-saving match. Please take advantage of any local bone marrow drives you run into to get registered!

Hoping and praying they will get through these setbacks. From what I have heard (through a neighbor’s experience), a bone marrow transplant and recovery,etc. is a long physical and emotional journey. Wish them success.
