After extensive chemo treatment was completed, intended to kill all the leukemic cells in my sick body, a courier was sent to Israel to collect the harvested marrow from my donor, and immediately fly it back to the U.S. where I was to be infused.

“Hello Mr. Stromberg,” the email read. “I hope you are doing well. I’ve been asked to check if you are available and willing to participate in an event in May at the City of Hope, specifically the annual Bone-Marrow Transplant Survivors Reunion?
Your doctor has requested we reach out to your donor as well. If both parties are available and agree to participate, we hope to arrange a meeting between you and your donor. Please correct me if inaccurate, but I understand you have exchanged correspondence with your donor, but not met.”
