Guest guest Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Hi : I did not see anything on my news. You must be watching Channel 7 or 5 NY. I live down the shore, and closer to Philadelphia, therefore, we watch the Philadelphia station to keep up on our area. That is terrible that people sign up to be a donor, and then refuse when asked. Maybe it will be on my news, or we will hear more about it. A. From: nchando@... <nchando@...> Subject: [ ] donors refused Date: Wednesday, November 10, 2010, 7:05 AM  Did anyone else see the report on the news about the FOUR donors who refused to donate bone marrow to a woman on Long Island, New York who then died? This poor woman had only four matches in the whole registry then all refused to go through the procedure. Her family is devastated. I missed the beginning of the story and I don't know what type of leukemia she had. Did anyone else hear it? What type did she have? in NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Hi. I did hear the story. I believe one match was the sister who didn't want to donate her bone marrow. I believe the news said that the sister didn't want to feel any pain. I don't know how the sister can live with her decision.It is really sad. Anyway, that is the one that I heard about. I believe that the sister was a perfect match. I don't recall about 4 other donors. The news channel focused on the sister. Is there another case like that in New York?

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 What all is involved in being a marrow donor? I mean, once you already know you are a match. What all does it involve, and how long are you out of commission? There's nothing I wouldn't do for one of my sisters or any of my extended family.
