How to find out if your a bone marrow match to.someone. how do they do the bone marraow transplant for donor and one who.needs it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is simple process: You can get this information on the internet by looking up: 'be the match'. Your local blood bank can also give you literature in case you do not have access to the internet. You can be a donor by volunteering, giving a sample of your inner cheek cells(they take a swab) and enter your data in the marrow bank, then call you when your cells match with a needy person.
