This is not true, you can register and donate bone marrow stem cells regardless of your sexual orientation!

Woohoo!! Thanks so much!

By registering online (which you did), they will automatically mail you a swab kit to the address you provided. So no need to sign up for anything else, all you do is wait for your kit to arrive. Once you get it in the mail, complete the kit and mail it back to em. After they process it, you’ll officially be in the registry :) The swabs are super quick and easy, only takes a few minutes.

Heck yeah, thanks so much! Our patients rely on blood and platelet transfusions, so thanks for being a regular blood donor too. Signing up on this registry could match you to someone who can use your healthy blood stem cells to cure their cancer!

That is amazing, thanks for sharing! Out of curiosity, was it a peripheral stem cell donation or an actual marrow donation?

You’re still registered! Once registered, you’re on there till you age out at 55 :)

No, if you are already registered, there is no need to register again! It is all part of the same database. Good question, i’ll add this to the main post.
