Now if they need the bone marrow donation that is a bit painful as they harvest from the iliac crest and it requires more. The plus side is around 95% are now done through IV harvesting. Yay for you on alomst the 3 yr mark

One afternoon or a few days of discomfort vs.
saving a life?
That's not a hard decision to make.
Now that I know the pain that goes with the big "C"?
Even a needle in the hip bone to save somebody from that cannot compare.
