Stem Cell Donation- Brother in desperate need!

  • Long story short, we've got a brother that needs our help! Rick Nelson was diagnosed with Leukemia just over a year ago. He's put up literally the fight for his life for the past 12 months. While he has finished his chemo and radiation the treatments have left him with no hearing and his balance is gone. Not to mention the daily massive migraines that totally disable him for hours. Docs think his best chance of total remission and recovery from the damage done by the other treatments is stem cell transplant. He was all set up to go to Nashville VA (yeah, did I forget to mention he's a veteran?) they had a perfect match. But unfortunately she failed her med exam this past week. They have to start all over on the search!  Now let me tell you, I love this man and think the world of him, I would be on my way to the testing site right now, but they won't take mine as I've had cancer, heart attack and currently have fibromyalgia and ankylosing spondylitis, which are both considered auto immune diseases. So I'm asking, no begging, for help here. Please, Please, Please call the number 1-800-627-7692, find out how you can help. Share it with your friends, brothers and sisters. There's gotta be a match out there that can help a fellow brother of the road! best chance of total remission and recovery from the damage done by the other treatments is stem cell transplant.
