I want to be a bone marrow donor
Bravo! It's great that you want to be a donor! Nowadays, most "marrow" transplants use bone marrow-derived stem cells collected from the circulating blood. The technique of collection is similar to that used for platelet donation. The process is called apheresis. So no, it's not painful at all. You may want to register as a donor with the National Marrow Donor Program at https://bethematch.org/support-the-cause/donate-bone-marrow/ You can learn everything you need to know from their web site. Best wishes! READ MORE
