WHERE CAN I FinD BONE MARROW FOR MY COUSIN WHOM IS DYING RIGHT NOW???

Question

he lives in el salvador

Answer 1

I do not know if the fact that he lives in another country will matter or not, but I registered on the National Bone Marrow Registry.

I am writing this after my original post:
Sweetie, I just read StevenN's response and I will tell you that he is absolutely full of crap when he states that a diagnosis of leukemia is a death sentence. Hopefully, you realized that since he could not even spell the type of cancer, he probably did not know what he is talking about. My former physician's husband and brother-in-law were both raised in a highly polluted area in Columbia, South America and both brothers developed cancer in adulthood. One had lymphoma, the other leukemia. I'm not certain about the brother-in-law with lymphoma, but my doctor's husband had a BONE MARROW transplant over ten years ago and is alive today.
I'm sorry, but that guy's answer was crap.

Answer 2

Dear Millita

In answer to your medical question, I must first do some explaining to you about the question which you are asking.

From the question which you are asking, it would appear that your cousin is suffering from [ Lukemia of the Blood ], or which is more commonly known as [ Cancer of the Blood ].

In cases of Lukemia, what is happening inside your cousin's body is that there is a inbalance between your cousin's red blood cells and that of your cousin's white blood cells, whereby the red blood cells are slowely being destroyed.

It is not just a question, that your cousin requires a Bone Marrow Tranplant, but also that he or she requires a complete Red Blood Cell exchange if the condition is in it's early stages.

However, most Doctor's in both North & South America will not carry out a complete Red Blood Exchange on a Lukemia sufferer, due to the medical fact that the blood cancer would still be attached to the inner lining's of your cousin's veins and arteries.

Although a Bone Marrow Tranplant may be tried with a suitable resiprocating donour, the chances of recovery from Lukemia are
[ NIL ], I am very sorry to have to inform you therefore that Lukemia is classified as a Terminal Illness of Death with no possibility of any cure.

I therefore trust that this answer's your question.

Answer 3

Everyone in your family needs to be tested to see if they are a bone marrow match. The greatest possibility for a match would be siblings first, then parents. He also needs to be at a hospital that is capable of performing these procedures. Help him get to a location with a good reputation for performing bone marrow transplants.

Answer 4

Get yourself tested you might be a match or he goes on a list of people once the right doner is matched they'll operate on him
