Not sure what they can use of me, now. That’s a question I need to ask!
I’ve always been a donor. I could never imagine not being one and my family agrees.
As a side note, I had a marrow donation. My father – for a short period of time, was on a transplant list. If you’ve never been on that side of the fence, it’s maddening. I know you aren’t supposed to spend the days hoping for the donor, life is supposed to move on, but when you life depends on it, that’s all you can think of…will someone save me today?
My father was on the list, very short term. It was determined that he had such a small chance of survival, he would not be eligible. Just the process to get to that point, is overwhelming. The cost is astounding and it leaves you emotionally drained.
Organ donation is the easiest way to save a life.
