hour in some areas. >> look at this. the wind has knocked down the roof of this gas station. >> reporter: waves of heavy rain pelting san francisco where up to a foot is possible. firefighters and police in that city rescuing a family after a tree fell on their vehicle. an infant lost his life after a tree fell on a mobile home. >> this is probably up there with some of the storms years ago. a lot of trees down. a lot of the same scenarios that happened a long time ago. >> reporter: the satellite image showing the heavy storm as it entered the area inundating the west coast with torrential rain. the storm so powerful the national oceanic and atmospheric administration sending its hurricane hunter to better understand this severe weather and throughout the state authorities desperately urging residents to stay home. >> this may be one of the most challenging and impactful series of storms to touch down in california in the last five years. >> reporter: well, authorities have confirmed a third person killed in last weekend's storm here in sacramento county. a storm and flooding that broke a levee. that levee has since been plugged and, of course, officials are hoping that that levee holds through this storm and the rain that's expected the

next few days. michael? >> we are all hoping that, mola, thank you so much. to ginger in san francisco with more on the storm track and forecast. good morning, ginger. >> reporter: hey, good morning to you, michael. as the core of that bomb cyclone as we call it, it bombed out, it dropped pressure by 29 millibars in 24 hours, well, it brought big-time winds. you can see that gas station awning was taken down, some of the damage, a huge tree blocks away in the center of san francisco, so certainly seeing that damage with the winds because they were so high. here between 50 and 60 miles per hour, but in the mountains west of reno they were upwards of 132 miles per hour. so, yes, the wind performed and still quite gusty to santa barbara and los angeles where a lot of rain is this morning. i wish i could tell you the rain and storms end but by this weekend there's another blast, another fire hose of moisture coming at northern california. that will add up and anywhere from eureka to fort bragg could end up with ten plus inches, not something that is over and will

go into next week for northern california. >> ginger, thanks. now to washington. what we're learning overnight about the standoff over a new speaker. it extends into a third day after a group of hard-right republicans blocked kevin mccarthy, now in six straight votes. >> state of emergency in we now go to rachel scott in washington. >> reporter: george, good morning. and sources tell me republican leader kevin mccarthy has put a new offer on the table, but it still may not be enough. it comes after two days, six failed votes, a bitter standoff that left us without a speaker of the house. >> a speaker has not been elected. >> reporter: this morning the stage is set for a third day of battle for speaker of the house. overnight abc news learning kevin mccarthy has made another offer to hold-outs in the republican party against his bid for speaker. >> i crawl before i walk. being able to do that vote that the discussions are going well. >> reporter: sources tell us

mccarthy has proposed a new round of concessions including changing the rules so that just one lawmaker could force a vote to remove the speaker. putting more conservatives on the powerful house rules committee and a vote on bills like term limits and border security. it's unclear if it will be enough. the divisions in the republican party on full display. lawmakers in their chair for hours, heated discussions playing out in the chamber. on one side, the republicans backing mccarthy. >> kevin mccarthy has proved that he can get things done. he has proven that he is willing to stand up in the face of critics. >> reporter: on the other, the staunch conservatives who say he needs to go. even challenging calls from former president donald trump to reverse course. >> even having my favorite president call us and tell us we need to knock this off, i think it actually needs to be reversed. the president needs to tell kevin mccarthy that, sir, you do not have the votes and it's time to withdraw. >> reporter: those members under pressure to fold. >> why is it time for him to

withdraw and not you when he has so many more votes? >> he needs 218 and does not have 218. we've been trying to -- work this out -- >> neither do you. >> -- in private as you said for months. >> reporter: mccarthy huddled with republicans behind closed doors for nearly three hours, but still no deal. >> what is the strategy going forward, mr. mccarthy? >> work through it. get everybody together and solve our problems. >> are you still confident you can pull this out, six failed votes? >> yeah. >> reporter: even some of his supporters say it's time to wrap this up or step aside. >> if they haven't come together, then i think it's going to be incumbent on kevin to make a decision and others to make a decision to step up. >> reporter: former house speaker nancy pelosi calling it all shameful. >> none of us has seen anything like this disrespect for the institution in a most cavalier, frivolous way. it's quite sad. >> reporter: through it all the democrats standing together pointing out their leader, hakeem jeffries, has consistently won more votes than mccarthy. >> i rise to nominate hakeem

jeffries as speaker of the house, the lead vote getter in the final and last five rounds. >> the gentleman is recognized. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: sources tell me some conservative members are pushing for guarantees that they will not be retaliated against, like being removed from key committees if they decide to suddenly support kevin mccarthy. he can only afford to lose four republican votes. just yesterday he had 20 members of his party oppose him. the house will reconvene in just a few hours to start a new vote for speaker of the house. kevin mccarthy is hoping this new vote chips away at this opposition. george? >> let's bring in jon karl. jon, kevin mccarthy's now given away just about everything, one person could vote to vacate the speaker's office, at least bring that motion forward. is this going to be enough? >> reporter: the concessions have made some progress for mccarthy but the bottom line,

george, is even after making those concessions, concessions that mean that even if he succeeds in getting elected speaker, he will be the weakest speaker in modern history. even after all that, he still doesn't have the vote. you know, they took a motion to adjourn last night to continue conversations, mccarthy won that, just a motion to adjourn by only a single vote. so he's now in a test of wills with people who are willing to shut the government down, people who are willing to shut the house down and even at this point he does not have those votes. but the one thing mccarthy has going for him, george, is the thing he's had going for him all along, which although he does not have the votes, nobody else has the votes either. so he is -- as long as he sits and waits this out, he's in this, but, again, nobody on the republican side has the votes to be elected speaker right now. >> he can sit there all day and wait it out. there is functionally no house of representatives in the united states right now.

>> reporter: i mean, it's extraordinary to think abut this and this is something i don't think that most americans have ever really been aware of. the election of a speaker of the house is relatively pro forma. it's often the easiest vote that a speaker will have, but until that happens, nothing happens. i mean, these members are not even sworn in yet. the committees are not formed. they're not going to be paid. this is an extraordinary dysfunction unlike any of us have seen on capitol hill. >> jon karl, thanks very much. overseas to vatican city where pope emeritus benedict is being laid to rest. tens of thousands attended as pope francis presided over the ceremony. terry moran is on the scene. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, george. it was as benedict wanted, a simple, somber ceremony, in many ways an ordinary catholic funeral mass. pope francis presiding and the thousands gathered here breaking into applause at the end in gratitude for the life and service of a man who will be

remembered for changing the modern papacy by resigning from it. ♪ this morning, tens of thousands from all over the world gathered in st. peter's square praying, remembering, here for the funeral of pope benedict xvi. the coffin brought into the great square and pope francis presiding in delivering the homily. [ speaking non-english ] >> reporter: speaking of the gratitude the church has for benedict's life. it was the first time in centuries that a pope has laid his predecessor to rest. before he died, benedict made clear he wanted a simple ceremony but simple in the vatican does not mean small, especially for a former pope. many cardinals and other religious leaders from around the world attending and some political leaders, delegations from italy and germany along with the leaders of poland and hungary and royalty too. when pope john paul ii died, there were more than a million people here in rome, but benedict had withdrawn from

pufahfulerand founthe d,his is a profound momo cardinal timothy dolan of new york in attendance too telling me about the man he knew so well. >> his legacy as a pope, what would you say? >> the intellectual, the reason, but yet a man of such durable faith. he brought them both together. i think that's going to be his legacy. >> reporter: and the fact that he resigned the papacy. >> there you go. a very brave act, which at the time i have to admit left me saddened and even a bit disappointed because i thought, look, holy father, even if you are weakened and fragile, even if he can't do everything, we still need you. but the longer it went on, i admired that humility. >> reporter: pope francis has talked openly about the possibility of him resigning

when the time comes, should it come. he said that benedict has opened the door. robin? >> all right, terry, thank you for your reporting. now to concern about the new covid subvariant spreading quickly around the country. the world health organization is warning it could be the most transmissible yet. elwyn lopez joins us with more from atlanta. good morning, elwyn. >> reporter: good morning, robin. that new subvariant already makes up about 40% of new cases across the country. the northeast hit hard. take a look at this. that new subvariant xbb 1.5 makes up 75% of new cases there and early research shows it may be more contagious than other omicron subvariants but so far there's no evidence that suggests it makes people sicker. those at most risk continue to be those with compromised immune systems and those with certain pre-existing conditions. health experts are still looking into how well our current vaccines hold up against this more transmissible strain and,

michael, they reiterate the best watois at boosterhot. >> all right, elwyn, muc go encouraging update on buffalo bills safety damar hamlin. the team says he's showing signs of improvement, but remains in critical condition after suffering cardiac arrest during monday night's game. alex perez is in cincinnati with the latest for us this morning. good morning, alex. >> reporter: hey, good morning, michael. hamlin's family says they are optimistic and holding on to that good news from doctors that he appears to be moving in the right direction. this morning, buffalo bills safety damar hamlin remains in the icu, but loved ones say finally signs of improvement. >> we don't know how long this medical journey is going to be for him but right now moving in a positive direction. >> reporter: it comes as the bengals return to the practice field for the first time since hamlin collapsed on the field during the monday night football game. overnight the players on the field with hamlin speaking out

for the first time. >> it was a very emotional 48 hours. yeah, that's -- not a lot of words you can say about what happened. >> reporter: nfl executive and former player troy vincersast >> you gave our brdar y ather chce >> to midfield and lowers the shoulder. >> reporter: hamlin suffering cardiac arrest collapsing shortly after taking this hit to the chest during monday ght football. >> this is the last thing you want to see. >> reporter: medics performing cpr on the field as stunned players and fans watched in silence. the nfl has not decided whether the suspended game will be completed. >> all everyone is hoping for is the best case scenario with damar. no one is processing whether this game will be played or delayed. >> reporter: donations to hamlin's children's foundation skyrocketing, $7 million raised and counting.

what caused hamlin's heart to stop remains unclear. but one extremely rare condition doctors could be looking at commotio cordis that causes cardiac arrest after a blunt force injury to the chest. the league now considering whether changes to player uniforms need to be made. >> we do know that padding over the sternum can be protective to blows in situations where commotio cordis is a consideration so that is certainly something tha will be discussed and looked at. >> reporter: and nfl executives say they never considered resuming the game after that president biden says he has been in touch with hamlin's parents. guys? >> all right, alex. >> i mean, from having a 15-year career and you see something like that, it's hard. it's hard to put that away and say, okay, let's play a game. so definitely it's going to be tough for these players and not

just on those teams but around the league because, as much as i look at it now, i wonder how i even did that for so long. >> really? you think about that? >> absolutely and how you feel lucky when you get out without any incident. but this is about as ultimate as it can be and hope he gets better and with the nfl guys out there and communities, it's hard to put it away. >> will they have to make changes to the game? >> i don't understand what changes you could make. it looked like something that was routine, something we see every day except for the end result of it all. and i think you got to say for the fans who stepped up and donated all the money, they did the same when josh allen's grandmother passed away, i mean, the nfl fans, especially there in buffalo, are incredible and i as a former player want to thank all the fans and nfl community for stepping up for this young man. >> well said. well said, michael. we got a lot more coming up. but right now let's go to ginger. >> reporter: the snowiest start to the season for the twin cities in 30 years. they've had more than 45 inches of snow. we're going to get much more into that. let's get your local weather in 30 seconds.

and that was a mistake. >> reporter: valerie szybala says she waited days for her bag and with an apple airtag she tracked it to an apartment complex where she doesn't live. >> i could see my bag this whole time taking shopping trips and returning back. this isn't normal delivery behavior. >> reporter: we went to the apartment building herself and says she found empty united airline bags near the dumpsters outside. when she pressed united customer service for answers she says they claimed her bag was at the delivery center, even telling her to calm down. she says it was only after her tweets gained national attention that a courier contacted her and returned her bag. >> i really hope united and the d.c. police department will investigate thoroughly. i got lucky. not everyone is going to go viral on twitter. >> reporter: in california jen brooks said she had a similar experience. her lost bag was also found at a residence days after united said they would ship it to her.

>> the communication up until i tweeted about this situation was, like, nonexistent. i didn't -- if i did not have an airtag, i would have no idea where my bag was. >> reporter: in a statement united tells us it's investigating and that they, quote, apologize directly to these customers and they have received their bags. like many airlines we use third parties to deliver mishandled luggage and in this case it's clear our vendors did not come close to meeting our standards. >> it is very common for airlines to outsource the baggage delivery component if a passenger and a bag are separated and often that is to a third party company. >> reporter: and we, of course, all remember the travel mess left behind from southwest, thousands of cancellations that left heaps of abandoned bags. southwest says by now nearly all of that missing luggage should be either delivered or shipped to its rightful owners. >> let me ask a question. is it a good idea to have a gps tracker in your checked bag? >> reporter: i mean, with all

the chaos that we're seeing it's certainly a smart idea. but we want people to know because of these outside contractors, they do often take a lot of bags back to an office or home to get it sorted and deliver it more efficiently. so if you track your bag to what appears to be a random house it doesn't necessarily mean it's been stolen. of course, it's a good idea to keep an eye on it. >> oh, yeah, as always, trevor, thank you. all right, coming up later, the new study about how social media may change teens' brains. coming up next, the new report about prince harry's highly anticipated memoir. what the prince alleges happened during a heated confrontation with his brother william and what he told me in our recent we'll be right back.

rude, difficult and abrasive, and as the argument escalated, harry claims william, quote, grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace and knocked me to the floor. i landed on the dog's bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me. i lay there for a moment dazed and then got to my feet and told him to get out. "the guardian" reporting the episode took place in 2019 as harry and william met to talk about what harry calls the whole rolling catastrophe of their relationship and issues with the press. now, in a new interview airing this monday on "gma," harry telling me about the rift between the brothers. >> there's a quote where you refer to your brother as your beloved brother and arch-nemesis. strong words. what did you mean by that? >> there has always been this competition between us weirdly. i think it really plays into

always played by the heir/spare. >> harry said he has been referred to as the spare for much of his life, and his brother has always been referred to as the heir. >> you've had a chance to read the entire book, right? >> yeah. i mean, i -- this book is a lot more about just his relationship with his brother. he covers so much. he talks about deep grief, the death of his mother, how he dealt with that, time in the military, and the most important role, which you can tell for him right now being a husband and father. and he also talks about his grievances with the press, which is one of the reasons that he's been so vocal about that. but it's also a story and a conversation with him about healing because, when you read the book, you realize it's been one heck of a life, and to see him where he is right now, it shows how much he's really had to work to find himself. >> seems like part of his healing process is not holding anything back. >> he is not holding anything back. i read the book from the first page to the last, and you're

amazed at how open he is, and i think the readers are -- it's going to open a lot of eyeballs and drop a lot of jaws, as they say. the book "spare," it comes out tuesday. you can see more of my one-on-one interview with prince harry in our next hour. the full interview airs monday right here on "gma," but i'm excited for everyone to see it. >> thank you, michael, for doing that. coming up later, the interest rate staying high. strategies to tackle your holiday debt. and next, our "play of the day." come on back.

>> reporter: good morning, michael. this is a major new report by the government. it details just how common substance use and mental health disorders are becoming especially among young people. take a look at this. in the 2021 survey, 46%, nearly half of all people between the ages of 18 and 25 said they had experienced a substance use or mental health disorder just in the past year. now, for teens and adults over the age of 12, one in five had used illicit drugs in the past year and 17% met the criteria for having a substance use disorder. meaning their drug and alcohol use led to health problems. a whopping 94% of those teens and adults we just talked about with substance use disorder were not receiving treatment. that is a problem. the report also found teens suffering high rates of mental illness with roughly one in five teens experiencing a major depressive episode inside the past year. more than half of those teens did not receive treatment either and this is so important. we talk about this every time we bring you one of these story, if

struggles and division in his family, also a story of triumph, how he found purpose in the military and his marriage and becoming a parent. the full interview airs monday right here on "gma." >> i know you're not going to tell us but what was that question? >> i can't tell you, george. but i had to ask it. [ laughter ] >> how did you know i was going to ask him the same thing? we were both thinking the same thing. we'll just have to wait, right, michael? >> you have to wait. you don't have to wait for our "gma" cover story and superstar singer adele sparking concerns over the weekend when it appeared she struggled to walk on stage while performing during her las vegas residency. erielle reshef is here with more. and, erielle, the singer saying she has sciatica? >> yeah, that's right, robin. millions struggle with sciatica and now adele saying she's been coping with severe lower back pain for years, but she is charging forward for her fans almost two months into her hit vegas residency. ♪ go easy on me, baby ♪ >> reporter: this morning, fans

expressing concern for adele after the "easy on me" singer revealed she's suffering from sciatica, severe lower back pain while she performed over the weekend. the grammy winner seen in this video obtained by "the daily star" addressing her condition. >> i have to waddle these days. i have really bad sciatica. >> reporter: adele has talked about her back pain saying in a 2021 interview with "the face," i've been in pain with my back for like half my life really. it affects up to 40% of adult, pain traveling along the sigh theic nerve starting at the lower back going down the legs, some patients can feel numbness or tingling. others report a shooting pain. pregnant women, people who do heavy lifting and people who are inactive are all at risk for developing sciatica. >> it's very common condition that a lot of people suffer from. a lot of people have it where it's mild to moderate. usually physical therapy and stretching protocol will make a pretty big difference. ♪ sometimes it lasts in love but

sometimes it hurts instead ♪ >> reporter: despite the pain, the "someone like you" singer still ringing in 2023 las vegas style after she completed the seventh week of her residency, "weekends with adele." i am dying to see her in concert. adele saying her sciatica can flare up from stress or poor posture, something to keep in mind. doctors say if your pain is significant and doesn't get better in a couple of days or you have weakness, you should definitely contact your physician. george? >> okay, erielle, thanks very much. we have a "gma" health alert now about the link between social media and mental health in teens. it's about a new study from the university of north carolina that is making the connection and dr. jen ashton is here to break it down. a lot of people interested in this. >> they're looking at the question between social media use, obviously very common in kids, particularly young teens, changes in the brain, possible, and then whether or not that can have an effect long-term or even short term on their behavior. so in this study they looked at just under 200 sixth and seventh

graders, tracked their use by self-report of social media, things like facebook, instagram, tiktok and then did functional mris which is that type of imaging where we can look at activity in the brain, see what parts of the brain are activated and found that those with heavier use had increase activation in parts of their brain possibly making them more prone to peer feedback, hypersensitivity, possibly leading to increased or decreased impulse control and regulation. it's not clear whether that went up or down. but obviously this is asking the question, if this can change activity in the brain, can it then change behavior? >> all that does make sense and builds on other evidence we have about the negative impacts of social media on teens. >> it's the same things we see with increased screen use in teens. so if anyone using a screen a lot even on social media, you know, obviously can have associated increase rates of obesity, irregular or

dis-regulated sleep, something we know is very important particularly in this age group and increased risk of depression and then just overall decrease in activity. they're not going to be as active physically if they're sitting around or even standing around looking at their screen. >> what are the best guidelines for parents? >> it has to be age-based and should be individualized, but there are general tips here. first of all, for younger children under the age of 2 the american academy of pediatrics crystal clear, no screen time at all. obviously we want to encourage our kids to be physically active. set limits on their use and encourage them to do the same thing. that engagement with their participation is really important. you know, creating those unplugged spaces like the dinner table really important and then digital literacy, we'll hear more and more about that term. you know, this isn't going away. we want to be able to use it and use it safely. i want to show you something. i have an app now on my phone that sets my instagram time limit, five minutes a day. see how it's dark. after that -- >> you've already used up your time. >> that's it. [ laughter ]

i checked my news and once it does that, that's it. you know what, five minutes a day, that's enough, right? >> that's enough. jen ashton, thanks very much. michael? >> five minutes before 8:20, wow. we'll turn now to simple ways to start tackling that holiday debt. according to a new survey from lending tree, more than a third of americans took on debt this season. this comes as the fed signaled there won't be any interest rate cuts this year. rebecca jarvis is back with more. hey, rebecca. >> hey, michael. yeah, there's three things you need to know here about all of this. first of all, people are taking on more debt. you might have done it over the holidays. overall people are doing it on their credit cards. second of all, that debt is getting more expensive. the fed signaled they're not cutting rates this year. that means aprs are rising and finally, michael, there are things you can do to take control right now, wipe the slate clean and have a much better financially free year ahead.

>> and big picture what's happening with credit card debt and what can we do about it? >> yeah. so first of all, i want everybody who is watching right now to gather up all of those credit card bills, flip them over and call the number on the back and here's why you're going to call that number because you can ask the bank and the credit card company to lower your apr. that might sound like, wow, are they really going to do that? well, 70% of the time they actually do and you can even ask them for -- to knock off some of the fees as well. then you want to make a payment plan. there's really two tried and true methods. first the snowball method. that means you pay off the smallest balance credit card first. you keep making minimum payments elsewhere but pay off the smallest balance first. this gives you that psychological jolt. oh, one down. then there's the avalanche method where you pay off the highest interest rate credit card first, again, keep making those minimum payments, that method, avalanche, is going to

save you more money but you have to stick to it if you're going to make it work. so sometimes the snowball method gives you the better psychological boost. >> all about psychologically, that helps you. but what about consolidating all your credit card debt to like a 0% or low interest card? >> this can be very attractive. but there are some really important caveats here, michael. first of all, balance transfers generally aren't free. they often charge a fee of 3% of the amount you're transferring over. those teaser rates, that 0% generally only last 12 to 20 months and if you miss a payment, you immediately will see your apr jump and you also want to make sure, if you're using one of these, that you're not tempted to spend more with a 0% interest rate card because great tal wt make a dent. but what are the resources there for them outside of what you shared with us earlier? >> there's great resource. qoins and the debt payoff planner. don't overlook the importance of

supercharge savings with nerd wallet and bank rate. you can look up high yield savings account. the important thing is fdic backed. that's important, michael. >> rebecca, thank you, as always. always appreciate your great advice. now to ginger in california. hey, ginger. >> reporter: michael, unfortunately this was a deadly storm. a 2-year-old in sonoma county a tree fell on the home and killed a child. we had trees down all over. san francisco streets filled with trees there in the video. we ran into road blocks because of that. the lightning that came with strong storms and the rain. now, we're going to see several rounds of rain blast through this weekend and the next seven days could bring another 10 to 20 inches north of the bay area. do

now to a greater focus on the mental health of athletes. two star basketball players are working to bring awareness to the issue sharing their experiences and what helped them through tough times. will reeve is here with that. hey, will. >> good morning, michael. despite whatever fame and fortune they may have professional athletes are not the invincible superheroes we mythologize them as. ultimately they are as human as the rest of us and i sat with two nba stars who hope to spark meaningful conversation and continued change around mental health.

>> out to jackson. >> reporter: paul george and reggie jackson of the los angeles clippers are basketball stars, best friends and advocates for mental health issues. >> people view us as superheroes and, you know, celebrities or whatnot, but, you know, we all fight the same battles. >> reporter: george a seven-time all-star and six-time all nba player and jackson a 12-year veteran are using their platform to spark a dialogue and hopefully a positive shift to get more people to open up about their struggles. >> you two are incredibly close. what sort of discussions do you have about your mental health? >> a lot of our conversation is truly how are you feeling? what's your thoughts ask what are you thinking? it's always checking in to see how the person is. everybody is expected to perform to the highest level. i tend to be in my head on most occasions when i'm having a lot of anxiety. i'm the person that reads the room and sit back, you know, and analyze a lot of things and it

could hurt me as times. i think the more that we can just talk about it, the more that we can make it normal. normalize the situation and i think people will start to be able to address it themselves. >> we are mind, body and spirit so you got to take care of all aspects and understand that without having them all in sync you really can't move and feel well. >> reporter: a recent gallup poll revealed that only about a third of americans feel their mental health is excellent and less than half feel it's good. both new lows, but nearly a quarter saw a mental health professional last year. george feels strongly about therapy. influenced by his time isolated from the outside world playing in the nba's covid bubble in 2020. >> i couldn't sleep. it just was a downward spiral that i was going through. every moment i felt like i was out there to prove something. i wasn't okay. i was able to get help and figure out a way to cope with it. >> what did you find from therapy?

how did it help? >> it was a huge help hearing someone else's perspective of my life. >> experts say african american males face significantly more mental health challenges and are much less likely to get the help they need. why do you think that is? >> economically, demographically, historically. we already don't have the resources and we already feel weaker than probably a lot of us are able to speak for. a lot of times we don't even know what we're feeling but i think that's why the numbers are tilted the way they are. it might be something that someone is really dealing with that don't want to express it because how the world may view it and then that's weighing on them as they're doing their job. >> same time just asking for help in life. whether it be a small task you need help for, understanding that there's only 24 hours in a day, nobody can do everything. >> the brain is the strongest thing in our body. people think it's work out, you build your muscle, well, you got to do the same thing with your brain. you have to take care of your

minutes. you can find the latest on our news app and abc7news.com. ♪ this is what i live for ♪ and we do welcome you back to "gma" and our ongoing series, "one match, second chance." rr's been ten years since a bone two doctors who are on both sides of this miraculous process. dr. ron desantis jacob of be the match, specializes in enrolling potential donors and dr. arif kamal at the american cancer society. a little bone marrow donation 101. because we get so many questions from viewers. and, dr. jacob, let's take everybody from swab to donation, something you know personally. >> yes, robin.

as you do know, i was a donor. i was lucky enough to donate to a patient a few years ago and the registration process is simple. you register online. you receive a swab that's mailed to you. you swab the inside of your cheek and then you drop it back in the mailbox and it goes to our biorepository, our lab where we do the typing for an antigen called hla. a little more complex than blood typing. once that is typed, you're put onto the registry and we sit back and wait. at that point physicians of these patients can search to see if you are a match and when you're a match you'll be informed. our request is you remain committed to becoming a donor. >> dr. kamal, you care for patients who receive transplants. we have a question from one viewer who may need a donor. >> hi, my name is marisa, i have accuse lymphoblastic leukemia. i might need a bone marrow transplant at some point. can you tell me what to expect? >> yeah, simply put there's five steps involved. the first is the ever important

conversation between the patient and their caregiver and medical team about what the next steps are, the logistics and urgency of the transplant. second is finding the match. you need to have a donor to give you cells to help you recover from that the high chemotherapy process we're about to start and third is the actual transplant itself. what we're doing is providing people with high doses of chemotherapy, immunotherapy and radiation with the idea we're trying to kill every cancer cell there and use the donor cells to rescue that person and the treatment recovery part. what you've got is donor cells and the person's own cells kind of dancing together. they're like roommates who have to get to know each other. in that process is takes time, sometimes a little medication. they have to anything out who will do what as the body functions normally moving forward and lastly is evolution and support of care. people have great quality of life now almost really mimicking what they had as a new normal from before they were even

diagnosed. >> my sister was my donor. we didn't get along as kids and -- [ laughter ] hey, get out. but it all worked out in the end. >> thank goodness. >> i was like, oh. [ laughter ] >> oh, dr. jacob, we have one more question from another potential donor. check it out. >> my name is tabius, and my question is, how many times a year would i have to donate if i join the be the match registry? >> sounds like he is ready to be a donor. what is the most frequent question you're asked? >> tabius, thank you for tat question. i'm excited that there are people like tabius that want to donate to multiple people. it's a maximum of two recipients over your lifetime. as far as common questions, one of the most common questions we hear is what does it take for me to register and the requirement is you have to be 18 to 40 years old to join the registry. the reason is medical research has shown that cells from

younger donors lead to better outcomes. then obviously the other common question is, pain. does it hurt? >> yeah. >> as we mentioned before i'm a donor. i donated through peripheral blood stem donation. it's done 85% of the time and that means that the natural blood stem cells that exist in your bloodstream are extracted and used for that recipient. 15% of the time we still do the marrow donation, but that is under general anesthesia so there is no pain in the process. and then the most common question after that is, does this cost the donor anything? no cost at all to the donor because be the match takes care of all the expenses. we'll take care of travel, we'll take care of child and pet care. anything of that sort. that is something be the match takes care of. >> when you're a donor and doing that, i think my sister only had to miss a few days of work. people think they have to be out of work for an extended period of time but that's not really the case. >> robin, i donated on a tuesday and took wednesday off. thursday i was back at work. friday i was flying from new york to dallas for a meeting. >> that's it.

can i just talk about the -- i know i talk about the guys all the time, not all the time, i can't even remember -- i mean, it was ten years ago. but the advancements, what i see people who come up to me and say that they are a bone marrow transplant recipient and they're only a year or two out, there is hope, there is hope, isn't there? >> there is a ton of hope and a lot has happened in the last ten years, like match probability. at a time when you were starting to go through that match process, that probability might have been 25% because we were generally looking at sibling, right, if you had a brother or sister that could donate. now we've gotten more creative. what we are is able to look at children, parents, we're able to look at other family members as well. as the registry grows we're able to have more probable matches. what that means now we've gone from 25% to 50% or even 75% in certain populations. really amazing. >> yeah. >> what would you add to that,

dr. jacob? >> i think it's a numbers game. you know, because of the support of individuals like you, be the match has set a record last year for most donations facilitated and our request is more lives will be saved. >> our "gma" viewers always come through. >> they do. >> thank you both very, very, very much. appreciate that. wearing the be the match blue. i got you. hey, scan the qr code on your screen to go to the be the match website for everything you need to know to become a donor and save lives. we'll be right back. thank you, gentlemen. with reliable covid-19 results in just 15 minutes, everyone is making room for binaxnow in their medicine cabinet. do we still need these pregnancy tests?
