Gene Lucas was diagnosed this past September with Mantle Cell Lymphoma, a type of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Gene has already undergone surgery and some very strong chemotherapy, and the doctors are encouraged by what they have seen so far. The next step in Gene’s road to recovery will be a bone marrow transplant.
As of today, there are some potential donors on the National Marrow Donor list that may be promising. There has not been an exact match found yet, and that is where you come in. You could be the donor to help Gene. In addition, you have the potential of helping anyone waiting for a life-saving marrow transplant.
