I hope that you're still doing well! After my dad passed from leukemia (CML) in 1997, I joined Be the Match. Unfortunately, last year I was diagnosed with MGUS (a precursor to multiple myeloma). Since the abnormal protein associated with MGUS originates in the bone marrow, I can no longer be a donor. When I called the registry to withdraw my name, I cried like a baby. I try to encourage others to join Be the Match….there may come a day when I will be the one who needs a donor.
I am 3 and 1/2 years post transplant, bone marrow stem cell. After 1 year I was able to ommunicate via mail and email with my donor. He saved my life. I had AML. We stay in touch through his wife's Facebook page. It was 7 years between the time he signed up and when he donated. He's somewhat shy and does not talk about it. I hope to maybe meet him one day. He's in Texas and I'm much older and live in Florida. Be the Match and the National Bone Marrow donor foundation are truly life savers!
Luis, dude, it's very wonderful this video. I cry every time i watch it. The woman is an angel and God gave her to you to be yours. I hope you can be always good in the future. You deserved a second chance and you are a great man. I hope you always have contacts with your angels.
This makes me cry every time
This is too beautiful. I just signed up for the OneMatch program in Canada. I truly hope I will get to help save an individuals life like this woman did for you. 😀
So happy for you. I joined the registry in honor of a friend in 2006 who I was not a match for since she is Filipina. Ready if called.
just got home from donating bone marrow today to a stranger in need 😀 feels great to be able to save a life, hope everyone who watches this will go sign up for the register! ^^
Its not everyday that you can save a life, but it is everyday that you can have a chance to change a life or save a life.
I tried to join the list but was rejected. I'm a Homosexual and even tho I've only been with 2 men in my entire life, my husband and I have been together 12 years, and each year the HIV tests come back negative, this outfit doesn't seem to care they have 2 people willing to go thru the process to save a strangers life. BUT I'm glad to see it works for some folks.
I am crying…
praise god. im registered. I pray I can one day help someone live long enough to dance at there daughters wedding

damn it cory monteith you made this vid an even more tear jerker
You dont see God, but he works his magic through angels like this wonderful woman. I want to be a donor. When the call comes, I will answer !
great,god bless you
it must feel great to know that someone values life so much as to share a bit of their existence with someone else to let them breathe and live..for nothing else in exchange..you have to have a great amount of love for humanity and life in order to do that. wipes her tears**
This is amazing, i'm crying.
God Bless you Luis Your video made me cry for joy.Cancer is in our family. I've lost my two brothers and my mom from this horrible illness ,I am always touched whenever I say video like this .Your donor is an angel.God Bless her and her family as well.
The Name of this Video should be HOPE! Because that's what it gives people. Thank you for creating this video. I would like to provide some additional information for patients with regard to the costs of the medical bills that go along with this diagnosis. There is a program where professional advocates will negotiate your medical bills down if you cannot afford to pay them. People who have used these services have seen an average reduction of more than 80% in their medical bills and some bills are even brought down to ZERO! Go to the YouTube Video: A Little Known Way to Drastically Lower Hospital Bills or call (800) 417-4372 for more info. They are the real deal!
Gosh I cried 🙂 I wish you.all the best Arohanui x
Please register, people. It's perhaps your only chance to save a life.
