Are you a blood donor or on bone marrow donor register?

thats great.. i used to donate blood till i got alil sick and the medication im on they wont let me do it cuz i might get dizzy and pass out.. but im a registerd organ donor.. i reckon its pretty cool that you could help somone out without them knowing who you are it makes you feel good :)

thank you. I cant even count type the style of blood products I truthfully have won over 2 leukemia prognosis and a stem cellular transplant. My considerable different donates to the interior of reach scientific institution often, and is on the marrow registry. what's so unhappy, is over the final 3.5 years that I truthfully have been with the aid of this, loads of folk have asked in the event that they might properly be examined to examine me (earlier transplant) or in the event that they might donate blood to me. None of them donate often, and none of them could sign of for the marrow registry. None. Why are human beings so unwilling to grant? I recommend, donating blood is a needle on your arm for what, 30 minutes? and how they do stem cellular transplant donation in maximum situations immediately (as a exchange of employing truthfully marrow, loads of the time they use peripheral blood stem cells) with a aphersis gadget, that throughout all fairness hassle-free and non evasive besides. I dont understand approximately others, yet the two considerable college trauma hospitals that i'm taken care of at in many circumstances have adequate blood handy for a pair of million-2 days of common sufferers, and no the place close to adequate blood in case of a great emergency.

yes i try to donate regularly, but the last few times ive ran into various problems....passing out, low iron, the nurse hit an artery (i think it was an artery, i dont know but she wasnt supposed to hit it and i bruised terribly). so due to my numerous failures i stopped for a while but i think im gonna start up again. its something so easy to do and it helps so many people. im an organ donor and ive been thinking about donating marrow lately.

by the way...you are awesome for doing what you're doing!!!

I would love to donate blood, as I am a healthy and normal person. Apparently though, my blood isn't good enough as deemed by the US and A because I was born in England and may have an infinitesimal chance of carrying Creutzfeld-Jakob disease.

Absolutely ridiculous that they say no to saving a life now because it may kill them in the future. I figure you'd want to at least give them a future...

Good on you Phantom..

Yes I donate blood regularly. I really should look into the Australian bone marrow register.

I am a super donor (I think that is 8 gallons, but I don't really remember) and yes to the bone marrow registry too.

I couldn't donate blood due to not having enough iron!!

Yes and Yes!!!!
