    bec012 is waiting on her results

    Registered yesterday! 1 week ago

    I’ve officially registered to be placed on both the Australian Bone Marrow Donor Registry and the worldwide registry. I submitted the application form and the process is under way. I donated blood a third time and two tubes of blood were also collected to be sent off to the ABMDR. Who knows what will happen.

    Swabbed, Sealed, Delivered 4 months ago

    I did the cheek swabs, completed the packet and mailed it back! Not having to endure pain to get registered should be a big incentive to do this (I guess they used to have to take a sample to type you?)
    I know the procedure itself for donation is painful, but at that point you know you’re helping save someone’s life.
    I encourage everyone to get typed!!! Don’t wait until someone you know or love needs help. People out there now who are looking for matches are someone else’s parents, siblings, or children. www.marrow.org

    Done and done 4 months ago

    I sent in my samples before the weekend. Swabbed, dated and labeled.

    So now I can officially consider this goal achieved.

    Now I just wait to see if anyone ever needs me. :)

    Awaiting my official package 5 months ago

    So I received my official call and they are sending my package to me this week. Basically I need to swab my mouth and send the package back to them…. Then, that’s it. I just wait and see if I am ever needed.

    Once I’m officially registered my bone barrow/stem cells will be included in an international group of registries and cord blood banks that transmit their monthly donor tissue typing results to Bone Marrow Donors Worldwide.

    I won’t consider this done until I’ve actually sent of my package, but I am happy that I finally stopped procrastinating and got this done.

    • I realize how lucky I am because in Canada it costs nothing to register to be a donor.

    Easy... 5 months ago

    I noticed that Kat said they were having a free drive. It’s the last day, but I signed up at BeTheMatch.org/marrowthon and got registered without having to pay the $52.
    So my kit should come in about a week!

    Registered! 5 months ago

    Done the leg work and finally registered – now I wait for them to review my information and send me my test swab in the mail.

    Once that’s all done, I’m all ready to go.

    Now's my chance! 7 months ago

    I’ve been wanting to do this for awhile, but haven’t had the extra $50 needed to get the kit. Fortunately, my school is having a Registry drive tomorrow free of charge! Now to work on my other goal of waking up at a reasonable hour…..
