I've been a regular blood donor for 8 years now since my mates mum was diagnosed with Lukemia. Unfotunately it took her life back in 2005, and since then have donated whole blood every 3 months! (give or take a few). Sorry no photo's though when donated on Monday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That low number occurred 2 days after a transfusion. its all just dying. her bone marrow is dying, so her body is unable to produce any red cells, white cells, or platelets. the meds shes on are designed to jump start her bone marrow, but we wont know if its working for at least 3 months. Until then, shes getting blood and platelet transfusions 2-3 times a week. If its not, its a bone marrow transfusion. Hence my blood test. I hope im a match if she needs it.SHP - have a read through this: http://www.donateblood.com.au/faq Edited 07/05/13 02:02 AM by adie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
