Bone Marrow transplant

My mom is now at one of the final stages in this leukemia  cancer: the bone marrow transplant. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is a operation where someone else s bone marrow is taken and put into someone else s body. The person who it was taken from will still have some bone marrow left, and it will reproduce. But, if this persons bone marrow does not match the person with cancers bone marrow, that bone marrow will not reproduce to completely eliminate the cancer. The bone marrows have to match. In this case, my uncle Andy has a match with my mom and my other uncle Scott is a "runner up". The doctors will have to load my mom up with chemotherapy to kill of her bone marrow because it is sick. Then, they will have to take some of Andy's bone marrow and give it to my mom. The operation itself is fast, but the preparation takes a while. We know we can get through this and all of your prayers have helped us and will continue to help us.
