Since being pregnant, I've posted on some pregnancy forums and a lot of women have learned of CML and other blood cancers and how they can help by donating their cord blood. There must be at least 20 women who weren't aware of this before who are now going to donate their babies' cord blood because of my story, which greatly humbles me and makes me very happy and proud. As for my baby's cord blood, there is a program I found that will pay for free banking if the cord blood is a match for me. Since we can't afford to store it ourselves, I will donate it if it is not a match to me.
