What's involved in donating blood stem cells?

[@Investwithmitch]

I've been identified at a match after 20 years waiting on the registry. My donation is on July 17th this year 2023. Absolutely PUMPED!!!!

[@arpita9408]

Please help me dear....I also want to donate. can you help me

[@mariamcdowell]

Can you be a donor if you’ve had a blood transfusion in the last?

[@JazzyJabbz]

I am willing to make a donation for a very sick friend but seems there is no way to do it in 2024 🤷🏻‍♂️ I called my hospital, 111 and then I just spoke to my GP over the phone and when I asked him how do I go ahead and make a stem cell donation, his reply was (and I quote) “Oh I wouldn’t have a clue about that. Let me look it up online for you” So yeah. I tried the Anthony Nolan site. I tried the NHS website , both to no avail. So if you are a terminally ill individual and are reading this. There ARE willing donators out there but there seems to be a very poorly managed infrastructure to allow them to do so. Total shambles of a healthcare system. Hate this country from the bottom of my heart

[@arpita9408]

I' m from India. I want to be a bone marrow donor, but how is it possible ? Please tell me 🙏

[@bobbekearns7996]

What side effects could those Drugs you have to take before cause? It is what would make me nervous as well. What are major causes that would make people ineligible?
