Bam, I hope they can find a match for you soon.

Have you checked to see if you are a match?

How would I go about doing that? And I wonder if certain health issues would preclude someone from being a donor.

A lot of different health issues will prevent someone from being a donor. Blood type is the first thing they look at before they even go into HLA typing for the actual marrow.

O+. How am I doing so far?

---

Good morning - bam - 02-25-2010

I'm B-

Good morning - bam - 02-25-2010

If you were O-, it could work. For my blood type, it would have to be B- or O-.

Damn, already shut down.

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend anyone doing it if they didn't need to. Like, I wouldn't expect a complete stranger to do it. Most people get on the donor list because they have a family member in need.

I've heard it's pretty painful, yes?

O+ here too, sorry Bam! But hey squirt, if you ever need a match, I could be your huckleberry.

To get on the registry, it's just a cheek swab, but the actual bone marrow biopsies/aspirations are, yes.

JCW & squirt- you guys have good blood types. About 40% of the population has O+ blood (which is good for you)

Cool - I'll update my spreadsheet.

Aw, thanks FJ- that was very nice

I believe I am O+ as well.

Gave blood in high school, passed out on the gym floor 10 or 15 minutes later.

A guy your size probably only has 2 or 3 pints of blood in his body anyway.

---

Good morning - BIRD33 - 02-26-2010

When it comes to donating blood I'm type O-hell no.
