MORRIS – Although TheFuzz scored the first points ofthe basketball game – a 3-pointshot – and had the lead at half-time, with 24 points to the Fac-ulty’s 22, it was the Facultythat pulled out the win in theend, 53-32.
“Our numbers were defi-nitely the key,” said Facultycoach Jeff Johnson regardingthe number of players on theteam. “We were able to wearthem down. But the win is lessimportant than playing for agreat cause. We love being apart of this.”
The seventh annual basket-ball game between the MorrisCommunity High School fac-ulty and staff at the Morrispolice and Grundy Countysheriff’s departments was heldSaturday night in the MorrisCommunity High School gym.
More than $2,000 was raisedat the event for Special Con-nections of Grundy Countyand Illinois Special Olympics,Morris Police Chief Brent Ditesaid Monday.
“We were shooting prettywell the first half, but the sec-ond half was a different story,”said The Fuzz coach DerekZumbahlen, “but this was allabout benefiting the SpecialOlympics and our Special Con-nections of Grundy County.Watching them play was thebest part.”
The Faculty’s win brings itstotal wins up to three, versusThe Fuzz’s four.
Admittedly, The Fuzz wasdown several members, in-cluding one out with an inju-ry, one called in to work andanother out for a family emer-gency. But both teams playedwith gusto to raise money for agood cause.
The evening’s highlightwas the game played by mem-bers of Special Connectionsbefore to The Fuzz and the Fac-ulty. Special Connections is anorganization with the goal ofproviding information andresources – as well as social,recreational and leisure op-portunities – for the develop-mentally disabled community,from children to adults.
Its members were dividedinto two teams, white and red,with the red team overtakingthe white team at the end, 14-12. Jake Yandell said he hada good time playing and cameaway with a few points.
“I have fun getting to playhere for charity,” he said.
“I like to shoot hoops andrun back and forth and shootfree throws,” said Jill Briones,who played on the white team.
Briones also participatesin track, bocce and bowlingand has won medals at SpecialOlympics. Her parents, Jerryand Jackie, attended to cheerher on.
“Special Connections givesthem an opportunity to partic-ipate in sports,” Jackie said.
Special Connections Execu-tive Director Kelly Thompsonsaid the game is a great wayfor the community to see whatthe organization is all aboutand what good athletes it has.The basketball team practicesNovember through Januaryeach year at the high schooland competes with teams
around the district.This year, its white team
took third place, and its redteam took fourth at district.
“They love this game,”Thompson said of the charityevent. “There’s nothing betterthan playing at home in frontof their fans and families. Wewouldn’t be Special Connec-tions without the community.”
And the community sup-ported the cause. Mark Ya-chasz, Jasmine’s father, won$236 in the 50/50 raffle andgave it all to Special Connec-
tions. The high school bandplayed, with members joinedby band members from Sara-toga and Shabbona schools aswell as others in the commu-nity.
Poms alumni were thereas well, getting together as agroup for the first time sincetheir graduations. They per-formed on the sidelines and athalf. Sarah Balluff and StaceyHutchcraft, 2001 pom mem-bers, said it was fun to learnthe dances again after so manyyears.
Faculty overtakes The Fuzz in charity gameMore than $2,000 raised at event
SPRINGFIELD – A 240-page, bipartisan, $25 mil-lion bill sponsored by HouseDemocratic Deputy MajorityLeader Louis Lang, D-Skokie,and state Rep. John Anthony,R-Plainfield, was proposedMonday in an effort to com-bat the state’s heroin crisis.
A news release issuedby Anthony said experttestimony at heroin taskforce hearings showed theover-prescription of opioidpainkillers has unleashed theheroin epidemic in Illinois.Painkillers are composed ofthe same powerful and ad-dictive chemicals as heroin,which is cheaper.
Anthony noted the planseeks to protect doctors frompatients who are “pill shop-pers” by increasing reportingof opioid prescriptions.
“We need to arm doctorswith more information andprotect them against patientswho are pill shoppers,” An-thony said in the news re-lease.
The legislation would pro-hibit pharmacies from dis-pensing more than a 10-daysupply of opioid drugs.
Additional requirementswould be set for doctors todetermine addiction tenden-cies before prescribing pain-killers and would requireadditional authorizationwhen ordering more than a10-day supply. Lang said thelegislation will allow doctorsflexibility. “A doctor maypre-authorize a larger supplyif he or she describes on theprescription to a pharmacistthe medical reason for thelarger supply,” Lang said inthe news release. “We don’twant to tie a doctor’s hands ifa good medical reason exists,but we want to curb over-pre-scription.”
Another goal of the leg-islation is to require drugsused for combating heroinoverdoses, such as Narcan,be dispensed more widely bythose trained to administerit, including all state and lo-cal government agencies thatemploy law enforcement offi-cers and firefighters.
Chief Brent Dite said thematter has been discussedlocally, but Morris police donot carry Narcan.
“A lot of thought needs togo into the decision,” Ditesaid. “We aren’t medical pro-fessionals. We are trained touse AEDs, yes, but this is dif-ferent.”
He said he believes withinMorris, where his police de-partment responds, officershave the advantage of a firedepartment and ambulancethat respond quickly, at timesbeating officers to a scene.He said the fire departmentcarries Narcan. Dite sees theneed for officers carryingNarcan being greater in re-mote areas, where responseis slower.
Grundy County SheriffKevin Callahan said his de-partment does not carry Nar-can, but he can see how itwould benefit a departmentthat covers a broad area.
“My only concern is thatour deputies aren’t trained,so how would we fund thetraining as well as the drug,”Callahan said.
Both Dite and Callahanquestioned the liability theirofficers might face when de-ciding to administer Narcan.
The proposed measurealso would require coronersto report deaths due to drugoverdoses to the Departmentof Public Health. Pharma-cies would be designated assites to take back unused pre-scriptions, which the GrundyCounty Coroner’s office doeslocally.
To help family and friendspotentially save the life of aloved one struggling with aheroin addiction and who isat risk of a heroin overdose,the lawmakers want to makeoverdose antidotes availableto the public.
The legislation requiresthe medical director of theDepartment of Public Healthto write a standing order forthe dispensation of antidotes,such as injectable naltrex-one, by pharmacists who arewilling, to people who mayor may not be at risk for anopioid overdose, according tothe news release.
“Police and other emer-gency first responders maynot always be able to reach aheroin overdose victim whenlife-saving minutes matter,”Anthony, a former policeofficer, said in the release.
“By arming friends and fam-ily members with injectablenaltrexone, they could savea loved one from succumbingto a heroin overdose.”
Addit ional ly , the bi l lwould require injectablenaltrexone to be covered inIllinois’ Medicaid medicalassistance program for thetreatment of alcohol depen-
dence or the prevention of arelapse to opioid dependence,Lang said.
This legislation was intro-duced a few weeks after Gov.Bruce Rauner’s first pro-posed budget, which calls fora reduction of money for hu-man services, including cutsto Medicaid and substanceabuse programs.
Authorities have liability andantidote training cost concerns
“Police and other emergency firstresponders may not always be able toreach a heroin overdose victim whenlife-saving minutes matter. By armingfriends and family members with in-
jectable naltrexone, they could save a loved one fromsuccumbing to a heroin overdose.”John Anthony, state representative

CHANNAHON – Sitting foran acupuncture treatment wasprobably the last thing Morrisresident Kelly Petry had onher mind when she attendedFamily Fest 2015 on Saturdaymorning, but that’s exactlywhat she got.
“I didn’t even feel it,” shesaid as a tiny needle was placedin the right side of her neck.Petry did feel a little pinch asan identical needle was po-sitioned in the top of her leftarm, but she said it wasn’tbad. Three Wells AcupunctureClinic, located in the BaumBuilding in Morris, was givingout free mini-acupuncture ses-sions at the event.
Family Fest was organizedby the Grundy County Cham-ber of Commerce and Indus-try. Executive Director Caro-line Portlock said the festival,held in the gym of MinookaCommunity High School’sSouth Campus, is a consumerexpo designed to show arearesidents services and prod-ucts available in the commu-nity, while also giving kidssomething fun to do.
Three-year-old twins Evanand Elise Petrick of Channa-hon were absorbed by Plain-field Boy Scout Troop 91’spinewood derby race track.They got to choose the cars torace and even got to push thebutton that released the littlehandmade vehicles down thetrack.
“They’re having a blast,”said their mother, Laura. “It’snice to come out, especiallysince it’s so cold.”
Other recreational opportu-
nities presented included EllisHouse and Equestrian Center,Greater Joliet Area YMCA,Joliet Slammers Baseball andDowners Grove Sportsmen’sClub. Dan Bellus said manydon’t know the sportsmen’sclub is located in rural Morris.It offers recreational trap andskeet shooting for individualsand families.
“We’re very family-friend-ly,” he said. “We don’t justwant to bring dad in. We wantmom and the kids to come out,too.”
Bellus said the club offerslessons for every ability andage. He brought several dif-ferent kinds of clay targets toshow off, including some thatare thrown into the air andothers designed to roll quicklyacross the ground.
Several businesses hadbooths, as well, including onesdevoted to cosmetics, banking,medical care, water systems,spa services, radio stationsand newspapers. The villageof Channahon got in on theaction, displaying maps ofprojects planned for neighbor-hoods and business areas. Res-ident Joe Norton pointed at aparticular house depicted onone of maps and said, “That’smy house, right there.”
The preliminary drawingdepicted a widening of DoveDrive that could begin in thenext couple of years.
The work will includeexpansion on village right-of-way, thickening the roadto make it stronger for theincrease in traffic and theaddition of city water lines,Channahon’s Director of Com-munity Development MikePetrick said.

Dwight nurse selected as hospital Fire Starter of the MonthMORRIS DAILY HERALD
MORRIS – Ever since shewas a little girl, Amy Olson ofDwight remembers her grand-father telling her she shouldbe a nurse.
It’s a good thing Olsonfollowed her grandfather’sadvice. Besides being an ex-cellent nurse who makes it atop priority to keep patientsand visitors safe, happy andinformed, Olson’s knowledgeand expertise have made her arole model charge nurse on the2 East/Pediatrics unit at Mor-ris Hospital.
For these reasons, Olsonwas selected as Morris Hospi-tal’s January Fire Starter ofthe Month, according to a newsrelease from the hospital.
“Amy always gives 110 per-cent, is extremely thorough,and is a perfect example ofservice excellence,” wroteco-worker Jessica Leschewskiin nominating Olson. “She isalways available to give hertime to co-workers and is ex-tremely knowledgeable withorder entry, patient care andphysician preferences. Shehas been a Fire Starter sincemy first day working with her.I look up to her as a person and
strive to be at her level as anurse.”
A native of LaSalle-Peru,Olson graduated from nurs-ing school in 2001 and joinedthe team at Morris Hospitalintending to work in medi-cal-surgical nursing for just ayear. She left in 2005 to work inobstetrics at another hospital.It took only 10 weeks for Ol-son to realize medical-surgicalnursing was her calling, andshe returned to Morris Hospi-tal.
“I realized I like the diversi-ty of the patient population inmed-surg,” Olson said in therelease. “Especially on 2 Eastat Morris Hospital, we get totake care of all different typesof patients, from infants whoare just a couple days old to se-niors over 100 years old.”
Olson also discovered shehas a knack for serving ascharge nurse, a role that’s nowher primary one on the after-noon shift. She enjoys being aresource person who has theopportunity to help out every-one around her.
Pat Schultz, manager of 2East/Pediatrics at Morris Hos-pital, endorses the selectionof Olson as Fire Starter of theMonth.
“Amy is very deserving ofthis honor,” Schultz said inthe release. “She is a true pa-tient advocate. Even with allthe changes with electronic re-quirements, she always plac-es the patient at the forefront.She is very highly respectedby staff for her clinical knowl-edge and leadership skills. Sheis a very well rounded nursewith a great sense of humor.”
In early civilizations, firestarters were the individualswho had the important job ofkeeping the flame alive. AsFire Starter of the Month, Ol-son received a Grundy Coun-ty Chamber of Commerce giftcertificate, a special Fire Start-er lapel pin, and a designatedparking spot for the month.

11OPINION
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom ofspeech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
THE FIRSTAMENDMENT
A rookie mistake has led tosome big problems.
House Speaker MichaelMadigan and Senate PresidentJohn Cullerton both believedthat Gov. Bruce Rauner wouldask to postpone the scheduledFeb. 18 budget address.
The current fiscal year’soutlook was so incredibly dire(by the Democrats’ own mak-ing), that the veteran Demo-cratic leaders figured Raunerwould want to first tackle thatproblem before moving on tothe mess in next fiscal year’sbudget, which begins July 1.
Rauner declined, declaringthat a deadline was a deadline.
Rauner claimed during hisbudget address that a deal onthe current fiscal year’s prob-lem was just “days away.”Madigan agreed with thegovernor’s prediction immedi-ately after the speech.
In reality, though, the gov-ernor’s address undercut hisnegotiating stance so badlythat Cullerton told Reuterstwo days later that the negoti-ations had gone completely offthe rails.
Then Rauner revealed thathe wanted to do pretty muchexactly the same thing in thecoming year’s budget as thisyear’s, and the bitter pill ofthose cuts woke up legislatorsto some very harsh realities.
By now, you know thelitany. Slashing municipalrevenue sharing in half, elim-inating a $165 million stateheating-assistance programfunded by utility ratepayers,cutting higher education’sfunding by 31 percent, serious-ly chopping Medicaid reim-bursements to hospitals, phar-macies and nursing homes,not to mention the long list ofcuts to relatively tiny socialservice programs added byindividual legislators over theyears.
Democrats reacted bysaying they might be willing
to allow Rauner to do some ofthat this fiscal year, but let-ting him do it again next fiscalyear would be dangerouslyclose to making those drasticcuts permanent. What wehave here are two seeminglydiametrically opposed philos-ophies. On the one hand,Rauner wants to permanentlycut sacred cow programs tostart aligning state revenueswith state expenditures. Andhe was possibly silent on newrevenues as a way to force theDemocrats to make the firstmove on that front.
On the other hand, theDemocrats see Rauner’sdeep and drastic cuts as anirresponsible way to fund anunaffordable Jan. 1 incometax reduction, which mainlybenefits the well off. And theywant the governor to proposesome revenue ideas beforethey’re willing to entertainany cuts to this fiscal year’sbudget or next. In otherwords, while Rauner’s budgetwas most definitely a punt tothe General Assembly, the leg-islative Democrats appear tohave just punted the ball rightback to the guy. Show us somerevenue alternatives, they’resaying, and maybe we’ll talk.But you go first.
So, if the rookie governorhad just put off that budgetaddress by a couple weeks orso, he might have solved thisfiscal year’s real problemsand survived to fight anotherbattle over next fiscal year’sproblems. Instead, we’re look-ing at possible gridlock.

Coal City caps seasonwith 3rd-place trophyWRESTLING
BLOOMINGTON – Afterexperiencing a memorableseason in so many respects, itonly seemed appropriate CoalCity’s wrestling team wouldcapture a state trophy.
The Coalers capped theirfirst trip to state since 1999 byclaiming third place in Satur-day’s Class 1A dual-team finalsat U.S. Cellular Coliseum.
Coach Mark Masters’ squaddefeated Gibson City-Mel-vin-Sibley, 40-31, to capturethe school’s first trophy since1998.
“We wrestled about as wellas we could wrestle,” Masterssaid. “We’ve been consistentthe whole season and haveprogressively gotten bettereach week, and the kids stayedfocused. I was concerned afterthe individual tournament be-cause kids accomplish goals,and it can be a letdown – butour seniors didn’t allow that.
“This might be a once-in-a-lifetime senior class. You hadtwo kids who are three-time fi-nalists and three state champsout of those two guys, and wehad another all-stater, so itwill be tough to replace them.The kids have been havingsuccess, but we’ve always beenmissing something, and todaykind of filled that empty spot.”
In the finale against G-C-MS, Riley Kauzlaric (195pounds) and Jake Frost (220)got things started with falls;and Jake Hiles (106), Joey Ri-vera (113) and Cody Minnick(126) followed later with pins.Corey Jurzak (138) also wonby fall and Jonah Englert (152)won a major decision.
“This is awesome,” Frostsaid. “After individuals wasover, I had my mind set oncoming here and getting a tro-phy, and we did it. Hopefully,the wrestling program growsfor Coal City and gets better
from here, and pretty soon wecan take home a champion-ship. I’ve been wrestling withmost of this group of seniorssince I was in second grade,
and I love all of them.”In the semifinals, Coal City
fell, 56-16, to eventual cham-pion Dakota. Kauzlaric andRivera won with pins, whileMinnick (120) claimed a ma-jor decision and Frost andZach Montgomery (285) both
dropped close matches. TheCoalers assured themselves ofthe fifth trophy when they beatVandalia, 45-24, in the quarter-finals. Coal City jumped out toa 16-3 lead after four matchesand expanded its advantage to40-12 before the Vandals won
three of the last four. Coal Cityreceived falls from Englert,Kauzlaric, Frost, Rivera andMinnick, while Jurzak (145)won by technical fall, BrockCrawford (170) won a majordecision and Hiles picked up aforfeit win.

Fans and players alike face a tough realityBy JOE COWLEY
“I guess when it rains, itpours,” veteran guard KirkHinrich said Monday. “Wecan’t sit around feeling sorryfor ourselves. Nobody else isgoing to. We’ve got to find away.”
After announcing Fridaythat guard Derrick Rose wouldbe out at least four weeks afterhaving surgery to repair themedial meniscus in his rightknee and losing forward TajGibson to an injured left anklethat night against the Minne-sota Timberwolves, the Bullslearned Monday that All-Star
guard Jimmy Butler has asprained ulnar ligament anda small bone-impaction injuryin his left elbow that will side-line him for three to six weeks.
“It’s our reality,” coachTom Thibodeau said when hewas asked about being downa former MVP (Rose), a SixthMan of the Year finalist (Gib-son) and a first-time All-Star(Butler). “We’ve got more thanenough to get it done. Just finda way to win. Whoever is outthere, just get the job done.Know what your job is and goout there and get it done.”
The Bulls have grown accus-tomed to playing short-handedin recent seasons. They are4-1 without Butler, 8-3 withoutGibson and 8-6 without Rose
this season. Those stats showthe Bulls’ depth, but they hav-en’t been without all three in agame this season.
And if there is one play-er they really wouldn’t havewanted to be without for a longperiod of time, it was Butlerbecause of what he does onboth ends of the floor.
“It’s not just his scoring,”Thibodeau said. “He’s obvi-ously grown every year. He’sa primary scorer. He’s a greattwo-way player, great de-fender. We have some otherguys who are coming on. Ashas been the case in the past,whenever someone gets hurt,it’s an opportunity for some-one else to grow and have theopportunity to play. [Tony
Snell is] coming on. [NikolaMirotic is] coming on. Thoseare pluses.”
There’s no denying that.But Snell and Mirotic aren’taveraging 20.2 points, 5.9 re-bounds, 3.3 assists and 1.73steals, as well as guarding elitescorers game in and game out.
“That’s been the commonquestion,” Hinrich said whenhe was asked how he and histeammates could get over athird injury in the past fourdays. “But Jimmy this year,he’s played huge minutes. He’sa two-way player, an All-Star.He’s just having an unbeliev-able year. It’s a huge loss, butwe’ve kind of been throughthis before.”
Thibodeau said the treat-
ment for Butler is rest. Whenhe was asked if surgery was apossibility, Thibodeau said, “Idon’t believe so.”
Snell and Mirotic will beasked to pick up the scoring inButler’s absence, and Hinrichis the best backcourt defenderleft. But the Bulls do have ros-ter space for an addition, andThibodeau said that avenuewould be explored.
“I’m sure (general manag-er) Gar (Forman) and (vicepresident of basketball op-erations) John (Paxson) arelooking at all the possibil-ities,” Thibodeau said. “Ifsomething makes sense, we’lldo it. They’re always lookingaround to see what’s avail-able.”
The Los Angeles Kingsdidn’t break any new groundlast season when they wonthe Stanley Cup with unri-valed depth down the middle– a quartet of quality centerswho were reliable in their ownend, effective on the attack andstrong at the faceoff dot.
But they sure hammeredhome the point that it all startsat the pivot.
“Last year, they were thedeepest team in the middle,and they did pretty good in theplayoffs,” deadpanned Hawkscenter Marcus Kruger.
So maybe it’s a bit extremeto say the Hawks are emulat-ing the Kings. But it’s no exag-geration to say the Hawks aresignificantly better down themiddle than they were a yearago, and comparable to the2014 Kings. The Hawks openedlast season’s playoffs with Jon-athan Toews, Michal Handzus,Andrew Shaw and Kruger atcenter.
This year, they likely willopen with Toews, Antoine Ver-mette, Brad Richards and Kru-ger, with Handzus in Europe,Shaw back at his natural spotas a winger and Teuvo Tera-vainen waiting for an oppor-tunity.
Offensively, defensivelyand at the faceoff dot, it’s amassive leap in the right di-rection.
“On paper, it looks real-ly good,” Kruger said with alaugh. Adding Richards overthe summer was key. AddingVermette on Saturday – with-out giving up a roster player,no less – was huge. Addingfeisty center Andrew Desjar-dins from the San Jose Sharksin exchange for struggling BenSmith two hours before Mon-day’s deadline gave Joel Quen-neville even more options,while freeing up more than $1million of cap space movingforward. It doesn’t hurt thatVermette, Kruger and Tera-vainen are versatile enough toplay wing in a pinch, too.
“The center ice position isvery important for us,” Hawksgeneral manager Stan Bow-man said. “I think you cannever have too many guys.… It’s probably the strongestwe’ve been at the center posi-tion in many years.”
Vermette didn’t want tomake any bold predictions onhis first day in a Hawks uni-form, but is excited about thepossibilities.
“It’s something your a lot oftimes, it’s a key position,” hesaid. “It seems to go that waywith a successful team. I don’t
want to make comparisonswith other teams, but I thinkthis represents a pretty goodteam.”
It was an unusually aggres-sive deadline for Bowman,but it came under unusualcircumstances – Patrick Kanesuffered a broken clavicle sixdays before the deadline, spur-ring the cautious GM to action.
He bolstered a strugglingand injury-riddled defensewith four-time all-star KimmoTimonen. He landed the toprental forward on the marketin Vermette. And he addedDesjardins to the mix by mov-ing the popular, but struggling,Smith, who had no points inhis last 25 games, and who wastwice a healthy scratch in thepast three weeks.
All the Hawks gave up wasSmith, prospect Klas Dahl-beck and four draft picks overthe next three years – some ofwhich they expect to recoupwhen making cap moves afterthe season.
“We obviously like thegroup here,” Bowman said.“They’ve accomplished a lot asa group. You’re trying to givethem a boost and add to thegroup. … We [got] three newfaces to give our group someexcitement, and push for theplayoffs.”
And after a long week deal-
ing with the Kane injury, suf-fering a disheartening shutoutloss to Tampa Bay and shoot-ing down the swirling rumorsabout Patrick Sharp and the
alleged discord within thedressing room, the Hawks gota big lift from the deadline –down the middle, and betweenthe ears.

CROSSWORD SUDOKU BRIDGE by Phillip Alder
CELEBRITY CIPHER
PUZZLES
Joe Henderson, commenting onthe Boston Marathon, said, “The Chip(placed in the laces of a runner’sshoe) also reduces the damage doneby bandits. They still steal drinks andcheers along the course, but no longerscramble the paying runners’ results.No entry fee, no Chip, no time or place.”
In bridge, when you have winnersthat could be cashed, no entry, notricks.
This deal highlights a defensive playthat would be missed by many. Whatshould happen in three no-trump afterWest leads the spade queen?
West opened with a weak two-bid,showing a good six-card suit and 6-10high-card points. South, correctlyassuming that his partner held sixor seven points, jumped to threeno-trump. (Yes, he might have madea takeout double, but he was worriedthat his partner would have gottenoverenthusiastic about diamonds. Notethat five diamonds could have beendefeated if East gained a club ruff.)
Declarer started with eight toptricks: two spades, two hearts andfour clubs. He needed to establish adiamond winner.
South correctly ducked the firsttrick and won the second spade.However, then, since West was highlylikely to have one of the top diamonds,declarer overtook his club jack withdummy’s queen and called for a lowdiamond.
East remembered that whenpartner’s suit is one lead from beingestablished, do your utmost to winthe next defensive trick. East correctlyput up his diamond king. Then he ledhis last spade. South tried a seconddiamond, but West won and cashed hisspades for down two.

DearDoctor K: I have leukemia.Thankfully, a family memberwas a bone marrow match.Can you tell me what to expectduring my bone marrow trans-plant procedure?
Dear Reader: A bone marrowtransplant can be a life-savingtreatment. To understand howit works, you need to under-stand how blood cells are creat-ed. And what leukemia is.
Your blood contains red andwhite blood cells. There areseveral types of white bloodcells, which are a key part ofyour immune system. All yourblood cells are made by bloodstem cells, which live primarilyin the spongy center of your bigbones.
In the years before you gotleukemia, each of your blood
cells was programmed to livefor a while, and then to die –only to be replaced by new,young cells.
When you developed leuke-mia, genetic changes in somewhite blood cells suddenly keptthem from dying. As a result,the number of that type of whiteblood cell kept growing. Anideal treatment would kill justthe cancerous white blood cells,and allow noncancerous newcells to replace them. The idealtreatment has not been discov-ered. Bone marrow transplant,while less than ideal, is such an
important advance that it washonored with the Nobel Prize.
In a bone marrow trans-plant, all of your white bloodcells – healthy and cancerous– are killed by drugs, radiationor both. Then healthy bloodstem cells are infused into yourblood. Those cells find theirway to your bone marrow, andstart to make healthy new redand white blood cells. The newcells will multiply. I’ve put anillustration of the transplantprocess on my website, askdoc-tork.com.
The healthy blood stemcells may be collected fromyour blood, before the mainradiation or chemotherapybegins. The cells are treated toremove any cancer cells, andthen stored until the transplant.
In your case, the healthy bloodstem cells will come fromanother person (a donor). Thedonor’s cells must be a good“match” for you – this meanscertain markers on their cellsand your cells are as similar aspossible. This reduces the riskthat the cells will be rejected byyour body.
Bone marrow transplantsare usually used to treat leu-kemia, lymphomas, Hodgkin’sdisease and multiple myeloma,because these cancers affectthe bone marrow directly. Theprocedure is also used for somenoncancerous conditions, suchas sickle cell anemia.
You will stay in the hospi-tal for several weeks after thetransplant. Until your bonemarrow cells multiply to a
certain level, you will be at in-creased risk of infection. Otherserious risks include severebleeding, liver problems andincreased risk of developinganother cancer.
Another possible problemis that cells from a donor mightnot match your cells wellenough and the new donor cellswill begin attacking the cells ofyour body.
This is called graft-versus-host disease. You will takemedications to reduce the riskof this happening. Despite thedangers, bone marrow trans-plantation is usually successful.
