Are you on the bone marrow registry? Would you join and donate marrow to a complete stanger if you were a match? Why or why not?

Re: s/o Bone Marrow
Well you can either stop by a facility or have them send you a packet in the mail. I had one sent in the mail and they give you all of the supplies and instructions. Joining is easy. It's simply four swabs on the inside of your cheek. I guess they get all the info they need from your cells and then only if you're a match do you actually have to have a more invasive procedure.
Haha. Well doing some work for the Leukemia & Lymphoma society was what prompted me to finallly join. Plus, my mom has been an Oncology nurse practitioner for the last 15 yrs and does bone marrow biopsies all of the time. She's also on the registry. I was able to ask her any questions & I guess after seeing how routine she really felt it was it eased any concerns I had.
Good to know. There's been talk on MM about the registry and when I read about it it pique's my interest, but I'm too chicken (or lazy) to follow through on finding out more about it.
I agree with Madisen on this one. Maybe sometime later I will take the time to sit down and do some research on this and then make an informed decision.
This.
