I am so sorry. That is totally understandable why you're disappointed and frustrated, to say the least. Sending lots of thoughts and prayers your way that Kate's perfect match is in that group of 60! Hugs!

I just cannot imagine what you are going through right now. I am sending tons of thoughts and prayers that one of those 60 potential donors is the one that will save Kate.

Well, I dragged my feet and let other things get in the way... But I just joined the registry tonight. DH would join, too, but his cancer made him ineligible.
Praying for Kate every day, and I hope the perfect match is found soon.
I am so sorry that her pool of matches did not come back larger. I am praying that her match is in that 60!
Have you guys considered a donor drive? A fellow college alum needed a BMT and they organized a Be The Match Drive in our area. They set up a table at a local mall, the news covered it, their church was involved, our college alum association put out a call/email/mailing and they had a HUGE turnout and raised awareness about such an important cause. It was really impressive. I thought of that today when I read your post.
