Checking e-mail this morning, I found the following headline:

YOU ARE A POTENTIAL BONE MARROW MATCH - PLEASE CALL!!

Was it spam? No.

In 2003, at a Red Cross blood drive, I had an extra blood sample taken to register myself with a national database of potential bone marrow donors. Apparently now my time has come. Maybe.

Next step is to make an appointment and get more blood drawn to determine if this really is a match, or just a false alarm. Updates to come.

Hey, pretty random but... what was the outcome?

There hasn't been an outcome yet. I had blood drawn the week after I first posted, and that was sent to the potential patient's doctor. But I may have been only one of a dozen people to be contacted, and if I was the best match, I probably would have heard by now. It's been two months, so I doubt I'm going to be the actual donor. I'll definitely follow up here if anything new develops.
