	Cord Blood Program	Families impacted by lymphoma may be interested in the "Related Donor Cord Blood Program" which now offers families an opportunity to have the umbilical cord blood of a new baby collected and stored at no cost to them. The cord blood then may be used to treat an affected biological sibling or parent who has a diagnosed disease such as leukemia, lymphoma, a sickle-cell disorder, an immune deficiency or a metabolic disease. Cord blood may also be used as the best available biological match to help a person who is not related to the donor. More information about the Related Donor Cord Blood Program is available at www.marrow.org/relatedcord
		Betsy de Parry's memoir of her ride on cancer's emotional roller coaster is a story full of encouragement and hope for lymphoma patients. Betsy writes about the impact of her illness on her family and friends, and tells the story of her lymphoma recovery from the moment of diagnosis until after treatment ended. She also describes her experience with radioimmunotherapy. You can find out more about radioimmunotherapy on her web page: http://www.lymphomabook.com/ Betsy says: "The Roller Coaster Chronicles is the story I desperately wanted to hear when I was diagnosed. Though I never dreamed I'd end up writing it and though my husband and I were at first reluctant to bare our souls, we never wanted anyone to feel alone again. And so this book is for all who follow in our footsteps - patients, family members and friends. While each of our situations is unique, there are common threads to all our stories, and we hope that ours will offer you comfort, a tip or two to help you build your own survival techniques...and most of all, encouragement and hope."

	Are You the Spouse or Partner of a Bone Marrow or Stem Cell Patient?	The Behavioral Medicine Research Team of Eastern Michigan University’s Department of Psychology is conducting research about the experiences, challenges and reactions of spouses or partners who are caregivers for bone marrow and stem cell transplant patients. Spouses and partners of bone marrow/stem cell patients go through the transplant process too! If you are the primary caregiver for the patient, you play an especially valuable role in your mate’s support system and treatment team. That is why we would like to know more about your experiences. If you choose to participate in this study, you will be asked to fill out an anonymous online survey that takes about 30 minutes to complete. You qualify to participate if you are: the spouse or partner and primary caregiver of an individual who has undergone a bone marrow/stem cell transplant between two weeks and two years ago at least 18 years of age able to read and write in English living in the United States Want to learn more?

	Market Forces Cited in Lymphoma Drugs Disuse Sometimes it’s more profitable for a doctor to use one drug as opposed to another. The New York Times ran this story on their front page describing why doctors are reluctant to prescribe two of the most useful chemotherapy drugs for lymphoma.
	Tracing Cancer's Cause When Maryland firefighters wanted to find out why so many of them had cancer, including non-Hodgkins lymphoma, they suspected they were exposed to toxic chemicals. The Washington Post published a story about their efforts to understand what happened and their search for help with medical coverage and cancer screenings. The Washington Post also published a letter from our Foundation describing the link between lymphoma and chemical exposures.
