Adam is a back up bone marrow donor- procedure July 7

Fifteen months ago when Anthony was diagnosed with Leukemia,
Adam signed up to be a bone marrow donor.

He has been through numerous tests and procedures since he
initially signed up.

He is a match for a 66 year old woman
who had  myelodysplastic syndromes  when they first called him.
It is (also known as MDS or  myelodysplasia) are hematological
 (i.e., blood-related) medical conditions
 with ineffective production  of all blood cells. 

Now unfortunately, she has Leukemia, which Adam assumes may mean she
has deteriorated.

There are at least two procedures for the bone marrow transplant
and I am not sure if Adam knows which one they are using.

They have told him he may have to travel because there aren't many

places that can do the procedure.
