Stem Cell/ Bone Marrow Donation

WolfyOne · 08-30-2012, 01:36 PM

I have been on the bone marrow registry for quite some time now and last week was contacted that I may be a match for someone. Sadly after I told them my IBS has been flaring up and they needed to know that before we went any further, I was told that I have to be free of flare ups for at least a year. I don't see where this is ever going to be possible because I have some really bad flare ups a few times a year. I wonder why they never said that to me when I first signed up and sent my info to them. I'm really bummed that I could have helped someone and they won't let me
