Farhad Mirfakhraie was diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) in February 2005. By August of 2005 he was cancer free and back to work. Unfortunately, Farhad had a case of reoccurrence in September of 2006. Once again, he went under chemotherapy and his marrow is cancer free. However, he needs a bone marrow transplant to get rid of Leukemia for good. Unlike last year doctors can't use Farhad's bone marrow this time. He needs a donor.   Since Farhad is Iranian, he will have a better chance of finding a donor with similar ethnic background. If you're willing to be a donor for Farhad and you live in Iran, please contact his aunt Dr. Farangis Vaezzadeh Marjani. If you live in the United States please check his journal regularly for updates regarding a bone marrow drive here in Southern California >>>
