When You're Asked to Donate for a Patient

(via NMDP)

Not everyone who joins the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) Registry will be called to donate to a patient. If you are asked, a patient's doctor has selected you as the best donor. You may be the one to save a life.
Becoming a donor is a serious commitment. We will provide the information you need to make this important decision and will:

• Schedule an information session
• Answer your questions
• Schedule a physical exam to make sure the donation is safe for both you and the patient
• Guide you through the donation process

You make the final decision to become a donor. You may agree to donate or you can say no. We will respect your decision either way.
