My name is Pamela Moore and I am a Bone Marrow Transplant Survivor! I was matched for a donor through the National Bone Marrow Registry in 1997. I had my transplant in Seattle, WA on August 13, 1998 and my donor is from California. Lisa was on the Registry for nine (9) years before she was called about being a donor for me. She became a donor because her 15 year old nephew did not survive Leukemia while waiting for a donor. I was very fortunate to have English/Scottish heritage that was described as "very common" HLA or genetic typing. So when it was determined I had no family members that were compatible to be a donor, my doctors turned to the National Bone Marrow Registry.
