Excellent! I am so glad this was posted - my kit is in the mail! I just used up ALL of my medical budget for 2008 on a repeat mammogram after I had a "questionable" screening mammogram a few weeks ago. The 'blip' turned out to be nothing, just a healthy lymph node in a funny place, but it cost me nearly a thou to find out.
Point is, I was still thinking about registering but the $50 fee to do so was more than I could shoulder.
Having been through a scare like that abnormal mammogram, as a single mom, I was really thinking how much every year matters to the people who love you. My kids need me so much, I mean, really need me. As I was waiting for the results of the repeat scan, I just kept thinking (praying?) "Just 10 years, I just need 10 more years so I can get my kids through high school." I'm so glad for this chance, I hope I match somebody and can give them as many years as they need.

So I was inspired to go register - and I find I have to pay over $50 to do it! I'm a single mama of 2, working for a non-profit, and without health insurance. Our grocery budget is $120 a week. I try to ask myself, would I spend $50 to save a stranger's life? Of course I would - and yet, I didn't end up registering, it is nearing the end of the month and I'm short on funds.
I was trying to live into going through surgery for someone, and I could do that - but to have to pay for the privilege ... what do you all think? Anyone else surprised?
