How do i donate bone marrow to someone with bone marrow cancer? what happens?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: The chance of you matching a non-sibling individual in order to donate marrow is less than 1 in 1 million. You can register to be on the national marrow donor program. That way, if there is someone out there that needs a marrow donor, you can be found if you are a match. It's very honorable of you to do this. http://www.nmdp.org/.
