I just got a call from the National Bone Marrow Program that I might be a possible match for someone. I joined in 1993 and they really had to do some research to track me down. I got married and moved shortly after applying.

Anyway, I need to fill out a medical questionnaire, go in next Monday to have some blood tests done and I should know within 60 days if I'm a definite match. At that time the recipient's doctor will determine if they need bone marrow or stem cells.

Has anyone here ever given bone marrow or stem cells?

Anyway, wish me and the recipient good luck guys.
