I, too, donate blood through the Red Cross in Canada with no problems.

I donate blood (4 gallons), gave a sample to the bone marrow registry........." I am interested that you give blood and bone marrow. I was told I could no longer donate because, although my TM was considered idiopathic (don't know what caused it), the possibility that it was an autoimmune factor led them to nix me as a blood donor as well as concerns about tissue and organ donation - with the exception of the corneas I believe. I haven't explored it since then and it has been ten years. Maybe things have changed. Can you enlighten me to the discussions you may have had concerning allowed donation? Thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: Lawrence King <mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: Lawrence <mailto:[email protected]> King Sent: Wednesday, March 25, 2009 8:25 PM Subject: Re: [TMIC] stem cell (OT?)
