Finally joined Reddit after 2 years lurking to respond here. I was just called by Be The Match registry yesterday as a possible match to someone. I'm going in to get blood drawn soon to confirm that I'm a good match and start the donation process if I am selected.
Thank you for doing this AMA! You've taught me a lot and really taken all of my apprehension away. I've told myself that whatever I go through, it's nothing compared to the person I could help. But reading your responses has really helped me as well.
I've been on the registry for roughly 2 years like you, and joined because a close friend had Leukemia (and has since beaten it through a marrow donation). I'm glad to hear your procedure is going well and thanks again!
