Bone Marrow Stem Cell Donation
In August 2009 I donated Bone Marrow Stem Cells via the apheresis procedure. I have been registered with the Australian Bone Marrow Donor Registry since 2001.

I do not know who the recipient is.
Lead up to the process required a full health check and four days of injections of 900 micrograms of Fligrastim - a hormone that makes your bones make extra stem cells. These are then extracted using a machine and your remaining blood returned to your body.
