Well, I finally did it—I signed myself up in the registry today! 😍

I remember reading somewhere that people who have received a transfusion can't donate blood. Since they actually use your own blood during a bone marrow transplant—which basically means you were on a transfusion yourself—does that mean I'm disqualified from donating blood ever again?... 😕 I hope I haven't overcomplicated things too much and that my question actually makes sense. 😁

Yeah, I'm actually wondering about this too! 🤷

thanks! 😁

Hey everyone! 😁

So, I was planning on heading over to the Mayo Clinic this week to get myself signed up in the registry—just wondering if I should give them a call first, or if I can just show up on my own? 🤷

Thanks so much for the help! 🙏🙏
