LEUKEMIA STRICKEN BEHEMOTH FRONTMAN (ADAM NERGAL DARSKI) RECEIVES BONE MARROW DONOR

Polish death metal warriors BEHEMOTH have announced that Leukemia stricken frontman/guitarist ADAM "NERGAL" DARSKI has indeed received a bone marrow donor.
FROM BEHEMOTH VIA BLABBERMOUTH.NET: According to a posting on the Polish-language version of BEHEMOTH's official web site, the band's 33-year-old leukemia-stricken guitarist/vocalist, Adam "Nergal" Darski, has found a bone marrow donor that is a genetic match. He will soon undergo radiation to destroy his old bone marrow — where blood is made but which also contains the leukemia cells — and replace it with healthy donor bone marrow, which will then — hopefully — go on to produce healthy blood.

Every year, more than 10,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with leukemia or lymphoma, and a bone-marrow transplant from an unrelated person is their best or only hope for survival. There is no data available on how many people die waiting for a match, but only four out of 10 patients receive the needed transplant.

Darski's fiancée, 26-year-old Polish pop singer Doda (real name: Dorota Rabczewska), was one of the people who donated her bone marrow but her tissue type was not a close enough match.

BEHEMOTH's "Evangelia Heretika" DVD will be released in the U.S. on November 9 via Metal Blade Records, in Poland via Mystic Records, and in the rest of Europe through Nuclear Blast. It contains three discs featuring two full shows ("Live In Paris 2008" and "Live In Warsaw 2009"); every BEHEMOTH music video ever made; "Evangelion" tour documentary featuring band interviews plus tons of backstage footage; and a bonus "Live in Warsaw" audio CD.
FROM NERGAL (BEHEMOTH):
We have just received the most recent report directly from the hospital. Reading it we have no doubt that treatment is progressing well Nergal:

"Hello. Still from his hospital bed, but it was really pretty good shape I am writing to inform you about my health and the further stages of treatment. At the moment I am on the fourth and final chemistry and more than 3 month stay in hospital. All the treatments went like a storm though not without some serious "holes." Thus, I close the stage medications and will soon begin radiation, and then, waiting for my bone marrow. Yes, yes, we have a donor !:-))) After months of search, the foundation has found the person whose genotype is identical with mine. It would be difficult to achieve if they did not support a large number of people. First of all, I must express my great admiration for my wonderful and devoted fiancee, Dorothy. Despite the adversity, the public comments, often small and pitiful, became the head to help me and many others. Your help is appreciated. Thank you and I love you. On behalf of myself and all the patients would like to thank everyone who signed up for the bone bank, regardless of place of origin, color or creed. All over the world took the charity concerts, people from industry, bands and fans primarily involved in the action with total dedication. You're great! Thanks to one of you can be my transplant but remember that your attitude can save many others in need therefore appeal: do not stop! March continues to victory! Horns Up! "

Thanks-ALL THE BEST IN HEALTH TO NERGAL-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal\m/ -l-
