First diagnosed with the disease in December 1989, Mr. Cohen, 20, a Southfield- Lathrup High School graduate, went through a brief remission. But a few months later, doctors told Mr. Cohen's family his best chance for full recovery was finding a bone marrow do- nor. After a year-long, com- plicated and expensive sear- ch, an anonymous donor was found. Mr. Cohen spent the week before the May 17 bone marrow transplant receiving total body radiation, which destroys not only the re- maining cancer cells but his immune system as well. To keep busy as the bone marrow entered his body through an IV placed in his chest, Mr. Cohen watched the Pistons beat the Boston Celtics from his room at Harper Hospital, said his mother Charlene Ehrlich. "I have to write a letter to the Pistons telling them what a great job they did distracting my son," Mrs. Ehrlich said. "He's starting to feel the effects of the total body radi- ation. He's nauseous and has aches and pains. That should last a week." "Hopefully, he'll have a brief break before the marrow starts fighting the body," she said. The donor's marrow will likely attack Mr. Cohen's body as a for- eign substance. Graft versus host disease is common after bone marrow transplants. Symptoms include a rash and diarrhea, or could lead to death. "The easy part is over," Mrs. Ehrlich said. "Now we have to wait to see what happens." While doctors hope for some sort of reaction a week or two weeks after the transplant as an indication that the procedure worked, the family prays it will be mild. "It could be minor or extremely serious," Mrs. Ehrlich said. "Everybody is different." As they wait, Mr. Cohen tries to keep busy. He has a CD player and a television set in his hospital room, Mrs. Ehrlich said. She would like to borrow a VCR so he can watch movies. Because he no longer has an immune system, visitors must wear a mask. To ward off pneumonia, Mr. Cohen must take a walk around the hospital floor every day wearing protective clothing. He is expected to be in the hospital another six weeks. "Sometimes his spirits are up and sometimes his spirits are down," Mrs. Ehrlich said. "We take one day at a time." ❑ For Area Listener, Short Wave Cuts Hurt PHIL JACOBS Managing Editor A llan Gale has enjoyed listening to short wave radio since he was a child. He can re- member cozying up to the Beatles out of KAAY in Little Rock, Arkansas. It was the short wave that broke through a near sleep one evening in 1980 to tell him that John Lennon was killed. And it was over the radio that Mr. Gale, the as- sociate director of Detroit's Jewish Community Council, heard the sirens and warn- ings to Israelis last January that Iraqi Scud missiles were incoming. Mr. Gale is a self-described "news junkie," especially when it comes to radio out of Israel. Up until now, there have been eight overseas broadcasts from Israel dur- ing various half-hour news and feature spots during the day. The packages come over the area as 20 minutes of features and 10 minutes of news. But Mr. Gale and other "infomaniacs" like himself are not happy over a recent- ly announced cutback in short-wave broadcasts out of Israel. As of June 1, the Israel Broadcast Authority is cutting back its English and Spanish short-wave broadcasts to North, Central and South America. It's eliminating entirely its broadcast services in
