Brenan commands that I update the blog with the following info:
- If you are interested in donating bone marrow and being added to the national donor list database go to: http://marrow.org.
- If you would like to get a private test done for an individual the cost is $165 and for more information, you can go to: http://bonemarrowtest.com.
- He also encourages us all to donate blood to the community supply. And he is continually thankful for all the cards, donations, and support he is getting from you all.
See what I have to deal with? He's such a bossy big brother.

Brenan has an appointment at "City Of Hope" Banner Health Good Samaritan Hospital Bone Marrow Clinic On Monday morning at 10:30. This process will be an interview and explanation of Bone Marrow Transplants, what they include and how it all works. Than he has an appointment with his Oncologist at 2:30 the same day. So hopefully we will have our new direction mapped out for any necessary treatments he may need.
Special thanks to everyone for their support.
Elisa is working hard to train for the big event. Believe me, it is very HOT in the valley and I admire her spunk but worry about the heat. Viv continues to stay with Bruce and I, and we are grateful for her presence.
There is a website for Good Samaritan City of Hope which talks about getting tested for bone marrow donation. From what I have read, It is possible that people can set up an appointment at City of Hope (7th ave/McDowell) and be tested there. They ask that you donate blood or platelets at that time to defray the cost of the tests. Go to www.City of hope.org
Click on HOW TO HELP, Click on DONATE BLOOD OR BONE MARROW
On the left side is a column of options. Click on ABOUT DONATING BONE MARROW OR STEM CELLS.
This explains all about the process. Hope this helps answer some of your questions. Julianne
Hey Brenan, everyone from your old Devils hockey team wishes you the best. I checked into the bone marrow donation process and unfortunately due to the physical job that I do, the recovery time would be devasting to my family's income. So I will try suck up my mortifying fear of needles and donate blood. Wish you the best. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.
