What it’s like to donate bone marrow

from Stem Cell Donors Australia Podcast Hosted by Stem Cell Donors Australia

Sam didn't expect to get a call saying he was a perfect match for a patient, mainly because he didn't remember ever joining the registry. In this episode, he shares how a community swab drive led to that call, and what happened next when he chose to go ahead with donation. Sam is one of the smaller number of donors who gave through bone marrow, so we talk through what that actually involves, from testing and preparation, to the day of the procedure and recovery afterwards. If you're aged 17–35 and thinking about joining the stem cell donor registry, head to our website: stemcelldonors.org.au
