She has never met the patient, who lives in Europe. They do not even know each other's names. They have been brought together by a computer search, by the quirk of a few shared genetic traits and, above all, by Majewski's kindness and courage, her willingness to endure a painful procedure in the hope of saving the life of a perfect stranger." http://www.time.com/time/reports/heroes/beyond.html The BMT:FAQ:"The BMT:FAQ is an evolving resource and improves with your additions.

It is a medical procedure involving a substantial risk. It comes with no guarantee. However, few would argue that the advances in the bone marrow transplant (BMT) procedure have been no less than miraculous. Still, despite all the remarkable strides, the idea of a bone marrow transplant is overwhelming and understandably scary. A BMT is recommended only to patients with serious conditions, and it alters life drastically." National Bone Marrow Transplant Link 20411 W. 12 Mile Rd.
