My Mother Found A Match!!

[PURE EXTRACT]

After a bunch of arguing and shit between me and my uncle, he finally said he would go get tested to see if he was a match for a bone marrow transplant for my mother The bastard is very paranoid about dying and shit and he didn't want to do it at first. What a pussy. Just wanted to tell everyone

 

[AAA]

good news bro!

 

[Latimer]

That's cool.

I don't see why he would have had a problem being a donor. Bone marrow continuously regenerates. It's basically like giving blood in that respect.

Exactly it is like donating blood. It's exactly like giving blood. You have to take medication for 2-3 days prior so that your stem cell count is high or something like that. But that's it. And for Christ's sake, your her brother lol. I was seriously going to fly to PR and kill this guy if he didn't. Maybe I scared him into it?

 

[casavant]

That's good. What the fuck is wrong with your uncle for even thinking twice about giving bone marrow to his own sister?

 

[Nathan]

I'm glad to hear that bro.

actually its nothing like giving blood, a bone marrow transplant is extremely painful for both the donor and the recipient

 

[the nature boy]

congrats!

I always wondered how that whole procedure works.

 

[beastboy]

Good deal....at first I thought this thread was about finding her a date.

My honest to god first thought was that he was making her fold his socks. But congrats! I'd get tested in a heartbeat for any of family or friends.

What Natty said...
Testing for compatability is like getting blood drawn. BUT
Actually donating....
Usually they take a core from the HIP under LOCAL and yes it is painful during and for days.
Just don't tell Mr Macho that or he will run for the hills.

Thanks for trying help me feel better about the whole thing, but you're wrong. You're thinking about the methods they used to use long ago. New ways have been found to donate bone marrow. Simply take medication and you donate blood.

That's the old method of donating folks. I don't expect everyone to know But now it's completely like donating blood. No pain whatsoever. unless you're scared of needles

Good one!!!


I would chew through my own arm to keep family safe and healthy my family.

Hey PE why is your uncle such a puss? Is there a chance of him dying or is it just pain? I would have some respect if he was worried about his own family should he jeopardize his life helping his sister. tough, tough call.

Well, his mother just passes away last year of cancer so ever since then he's been really paranoid about dying. This just scared him even more. I can't blame him for feeling scared...but still...it's your sister

 

[Mike P.T.]

Great news bro!

BTW - About her tape. She didn't even mention it at all today.

 

[naturally anabolic]

good luck to her

 

[Bullit]

Is it really that hard? I mean you can get a whole book of them free at any bar or restaurant. Hell, just go to 7-11 and buy some.




jk... congrats.

 

[vixenbabe]

I hope he's a match for your mom. Good luck~finger's crossed on this end....

I'm a needle wuss too...but damn....I'd buck up and give a family member my bone marrow if it could save their life!

 

[saint808]

congrats, hope everything works out for your family.

 

[PURE EXTRACT]

[Pebcak]

Hey bro good for you, that's great news. My mother, 2 Aunt's, and Nana all had or have breast cancer. Keep your head and you'll get through this.
