I want to take a minute to thank my donor. As most of you are aware, somebody I don't know has just endured a week of chemotherapy and approximately four hours attached to the most bizarre machine on the planet on behalf of someone unknown. Me.
He's a 24.2 year old man from the US with Type A blood. If you're him. Thanks.
It amazes me that people are willing to do this kind of thing for a complete stranger. It amazes me more that someone who is only 24 would be familiar with the system, be prepared to join the registry, and follow thru with the procedure. The only thing I thought about when I was 24 was getting my pencil sharpened.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

This blog is written by and about a guy with an incurable form of cancer. My purpose here isn't to say "woe is me", but to give insight about my thoughts, perspectives, and experiences throughout this adventure. My name is Andre. My partner's name is Ed. I intend to publish on a pretty regular basis here, but Ed might occasionally pop in with his thoughts too.
