Im cautiously optimistic because I am highly sensitized. They are both the same blood type as me, so they are going to check the cross match at the transplant center.. I cant believe how generous people can be. I am so unbelievably touched that total strangers would even think about doing this for me. Ill keep in touch with you all, but knowing my luck they probably aren't matches but we'll see.  |

 It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived. |

I hope it works out Neo but even if they can't donate, they're very special and generous for offering. Keeping everything crossed for you at this end.

Wow! you must be a very lucky person to have two people who are considering donating. I hope everything goes well and you get a transplant. Just remember it won't happen right away....there's alot involved in the process.......the waiting game.
