Bone Marrow Donors Worldwide - a worldwide registry organization:

From BMDW, you can find a list of US Bone Marrow Donors Registry
organizations:

You may also search through the NIH webpage by entering key words "Bone
Marrow Transplant": http://www.nih.gov to get hundreds of cases and
discussions. Also the Mayo Clinic website can give you lots of good
information too: http://www.mayohealth.org. And yes, you shall be able to
find hundreds of related websites by searching through those search engines
such as AltaVista or Infoseek.
I'm a registered bone marrow donor for five years, but so far they haven't
found anyone I can help. The matching probability is very low (even from the
same family), but DO NOT give up. The registered donor database is growing,
and there are lots of new treatments approved for different cancers each
year. Just make sure your friend has a good doctor and a good hospital.
Best luck for your friend!
