The National Marrow Donor Program® (NMDP), a federally funded nonprofit organization, was created to improve the effectiveness of the search for donors. The NMDP maintains an international registry of volunteers willing to be donors for all sources of blood stem cells used in transplantation: bone marrow, peripheral blood, and umbilical cord blood. The NMDP website contains a list of transplant centers Exit Disclaimer that perform allogeneic transplants. The list includes descriptions of the centers as well as their transplant experience, survival statistics, research interests, pretransplant costs, and contact information. National Marrow Donor Program Suite 100 3001 Broadway Street, NE. Minneapolis, MN 55413–1753 612–627–5800 1–800–627–7692 (1–800–MARROW–2) (Be The Match Registry) 1–888–999–6743 (Be The Match Patient Services) patientinfo@nmdp.org http://www.bethematch.org Exit Disclaimer Of note: When my father had cancer i went in to see if i was a match to donate bone marrow. Surprisingly it didn't hurt as much as i had anticipated. But, i won't lie, it did hurt. I was a match. He just never got well enough to receive it. Sometimes it is about knowing you've done all that you could possibly do. Again, it is everyone's choice. No right or wrong answer here. Life is full of hard decisions and supporting each other is a wonderful way to say " i kinda like ya" LOL.
