Part of Liam's leukemia treatment will be a bone marrow transplant. If you are interested in being a donor and want to be tested a simple swab of the cheek or blood sample can tell if you are a match. The places that I have listed below are free. There may be another lab in your area that provides this service, but it can be very expensive.
If you live in Montana, his doctor is going through United Blood Service. You can set up an appointment there.
If you live in Utah or another area you can join the national registry at Be the Match.
My understanding is that family members are the most likely candidate for a match... but, anyone could be a match. I am medically ineligible because of my diabetes. So, there are a few guidelines you must know.
Liam-we are here to help you buddy! Keep up the good work. Love ya!
