If you’ve just stumbled upon this blog while looking for information about what it’s like to be a PBSC/bone marrow donor, here’s the end of the story before you get to the beginning: my recipient and I recently met, and she’s doing well! And is a lovely, wonderful person. Her hope and strength have become a model and inspiration for me. (I’m completely fine, too—no long- or short-term side effects at all from the donation.) So please keep reading, and if you’re on the fence about donating: please do it.
ABOUT THIS BLOG
This blog chronicles my experience donating bone marrow—specifically, Peripheral Blood Stem Cells (PBSC). As I was getting ready to donate, I found it helpful to read personal accounts of others who had already been through the process (see Links page). I'm adding my own story to that body of anecdotes in hopes that it might answer someone else's questions. To read from the very beginning, start here.
NOTE: Clicking on the "Continue reading" link will take you to a longer version of the post that includes my thoughts from a Jewish and spiritual point of view.
