Hey guys, I was informed Friday I was a potential match to donate bone marrow to a patient in need of stem cells. I am going to be getting blood work to see if I am really a match, or not. I'm going to go through with it if I am, because nothing could make it not worth saving a life, but what I'm asking if any of you have, or know of someone who has donated bone marrow before. Thanks |

They just randomly told you you were a match for some random person? Or do you know this person? Sounds weird. | ||

He's going to wake up in a tub of ice missing a kidney. |

In 2007 I did the preliminary test to see if I had a match for my 9 year old cousin who had brain cancer and was in need on stem cells. After that, I was put on the database they had, and have been flagged as a potential match for a random person. I have no problem doing it for someone I don't know, it's still a life, and every life is worth the pain you'd go through donating marrow (probably minor surgery taking it through the hip). Just wanted to hear if anyone had any personal experience with this as I don't know one person who has. |

Aside from /sarcasm, I'd definitely do that, heard about bone marrow donations just recently actually. I heard they just put you out then do surgery and you might get some aches/stiffness for a couple days. | ||

There are only 100 different people in the world born again and again and 1 special person born every generation; nobody else matters. Nobody will ever fucking care about what you think you are besides your mom and dad/stepdad until you're 29 years old. As far as anybody is concerned "friends" or not, you aren't even a soul yet, you're a housecat. you can say you've had thoughts, but a chicken has thoughts when it's put under the chopping block. Jesus is the man to follow for now and forever. Do you know what Jesus would do if he met a kid with Cancer and could donate? I think he would keep his tasty bone marrow. If you need to research yourself open up a bible, but it'll take you a long fucking time to finally come to my conclusion and your cancer-striken hitler2 will be a liquid pool trapped in the corner of a coffin trying desperately to escape just to lend part of itself to a plant or to some fucking vapor for whatever, but most of him will just turn into combustible shit. Just like you're going to be. The difference between you and a little sick shit is that he's not a person yet. He's just a pile of memories for his poor mother and father to hold on to. People get cancer because of their mistakes. His was the mistake of his father, and his death shall be his father's punishment. |

That's incredably offensive, especially to someone who's family has gone through a major cancer scare. Can you explain to me what a 9 year old little girl could have possible done to "deserve" cancer in your eyes? Back on topic, I've been told they can take stem cells from either your marrow or your blood, depending on the case, but most cancer cases they have to do minor surgery, and like any surgery you'll be stiff/sore for a week or two. I'm figuring I'd miss a day or two of work, and hoping they will give me those days off (if I am a match) without having to use my own sick/vacation days, already have those all booked for the year... |
