What makes me a good bone marrow donor candidate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Having some: If you are in good health, do not have any cancers / immune disorders or other significant medical conditions, then you should be screened for eligibility / compatibility as a donor. The american red cross has some information on this, or can visit: http://marrow.Org/home.Aspx for more information.
