Hi Mehr

I'm sorry to hear about this, but glad to know you are determined to fight this back.

I'm also Iranian, right now living in Canada. I will register ASAP, hope it can help you or other similar patients.

My sister was diagnosed with Leukemia when she was 18 as well (she is living in Iran) around 7 years ago, but she was cured and she is been living a healthy life since then. Don't loose your hope, try to stay positive, you definitely know how important it is.

One more thing, I think it's amazing that you have started this thread to discuss this. You can start an effort to raise awareness on Leukemia and use your technology background to reach as many people as possible. Hopefully one day enough people will register in BMDW, so no one has to stay in waiting list any more.
