It Could Be Worse...

We met with Sam's doctor today and learned that the cancer is still there, though the masses throughout his body have been reduced in size.  It's not exactly the news we were hoping for, but at least there has been a response.  Dr. Matasar is advising one more round of chemo followed up with another scan.  He's never done more than four rounds of this particular type of chemo on anyone, and we're certainly not out to set any records.

They're still searching for a donor.  Thank you so much to everyone who's signed up.  We heard you may be able to score a free test kit if you use this promo code:  PIF070109 (thanks Christy Johnston!).

And I know we've said it one hundred times already, but thank you again for all of your thoughtful cards, emails and messages.  They help keep our spirits up on even our toughest days.  Some of you have asked for it so here it is again 205 east 76th Street apt. 4 NY, NY 10021.

    Hi Kristen:

    I am Sam's cousin, from the CA Daley clan. Mark contacted my dad and said that you were looking for donor matches, and that family matches are easier to find than non-relations. I signed up with the registry today and should have the kit in the next few weeks. I only met Sam once, in 1987, when he would have been about 6, but I have often heard tales from my Gandma Jackie of my Florida cousin who is just as big as me....

    In any case, I will get the match kit back ASAP, and make sure that Sam is listed as the specific recipient that I am interested in donating to.

    If you want to contact me, you can email me at:
    oldhangtown@gmail.com.

    Stay Positive and give our best to your family.

    Aaron Daley
