Natalie is very good friends with my cousin’s little girl. Her test results on Tuesday were really bad. This is what my cousin had to say about it: The results were bad. Cancer is totally back and she has already been readmitted to UCSF and has started intense chemo to wipe out her own marrow. She will need a bone marrow transplant within the next 2 months and the doctors have said that this is her ONLY chance of survival at this point. This is info from her mom this morning. She must have a chinese/japanese match.

If you are of Chinese and/or Japanese descent, please, please, PLEASE get tested to see if you are a match to become a bone marrow donor for Natalie. This is Natalie’s only chance for a cure. The best chance for Natalie is to find someone who is the same ethnicity: Chinese and Japanese. Most people in the national registry are Caucasians. If you know anyone at all who is of Chinese and Japanese decent, please have them contact me for more information on how to become a possible donor for Natalie. Visit Natalie’s website to learn more about her story: http://nataliesangels.blogspot.com
