There's no new update, but I'm feeling OK. Miserable with these side effects and don't feel much like chatting or being in a good mood. I'm saving all my strength. I'm walking so much better and it's getting better every day. We're playing the waiting game - not sure when we're leaving or what the very next step will be.

What we do know is that I will be having a stem cell transplant in the future... but we're looking for a match. My wonderful friend (some of you know her) Becca and her sister and husband have set up a website for me. www.matchlindsey.org

This website is to help with the Bone Marrow Drive that my fabulous friend Becca is coordinating with Gift of Life.

So if you check out the website you will see what is in the making. For the most part each link on the left has a small paragraph except the "donor education" which is long but interesting. My friends will be posting future updates there as well. If you have questions about the transplant and matches - please don't ask me. It's difficult to say over and over and it makes me anxious. There are great links on the website!

If anyone is interested in helping with fundraising, marketing ideas, with the actual drive (which looks like it will be Wednesday August 30 and Thursday August 31), or if you have any ideas or suggestions, email volunteer@matchlindsey.org

Anyway, I'll let you get to it. Thanks for all the emails and blood products and the friends with the blood products. The website will be updated when I have something to new to share!

Thanks for your support =)
