BEHEMOTH’s Nergal Brings Awareness to the Need for Marrow Donors

FAQ's Below to Answer many questions.

BEHEMOTH leader Nergal has just found out he needs a marrow transplant to fight the sickness he has recently been diagnosed with (leukemia). In light of this he wants to remind everyone about the need to be on the marrow registry.  "It's so important that you are added to the national marrow registration.  Not only will I have a better chance of finding a match but the thousands that are waiting will also have that chance." 

BEHEMOTH and Metal Blade would like to thank everyone for their support and well wishes during this difficult time. The best thing we can all do right now is learn about the marrow donation process, not only help save one of metal’s leaders, but to also help save countless others out there struggling with the same disease.

Marrow FAQ.

1 . I want to donate Bone Marrow/Stem Cells to Adam “Nargel” Darski, how do I do
that?

First off, thats awesome that you want to help. It is important to know that donating
bone marrow isn’t the same as donating blood. Donor compatibility is one in millions
for bone marrow, being part of the registry doesn’t mean that you will be donating in
your lifetime, but you must be committed and ready if called.  It is very important to expand the registry by adding as many people to it as possible. At any given time there are thousands of people around the world waiting for a bone marrow match, growing the registry gives these people a greater chance of
finding a match.

2 . I live in a different country than Nargel, does that matter? 

No the Bone Marrow Registry is international, meaning if you sign up in different parts of the world, you may be matched with someone in another part of the world.

3 . I want to be part of the registry, how do I join?

If you live in the United States and would like to be a part of the Marrow Registry check out

sent to you.
