My father, John Glaser, who, in every other way is a healthy and fit 62 year old, has been dealing with two difficult forms of cancer. After responding well to his treatment for Multiple Myeloma, he has recently been diagnosed with Leukeumia, a rare side-effect of the chemotherapy. He will need a stem cell transplant, and the stem cell center at Stanford University hopes to find a close match within the next few weeks. In my father's case, it is likely that a match would have Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry. However, donors with all possible backgrounds are needed for the international registry. Many of our dear friends have asked what they can do to help my dad in his recovery. Helping to grow the international registry would be the greatest gift to us.
