Doctors help Shreveport Infant Fight Leukemia

[Texasbelle]

To get tested all you are going to do is either :

a: Show up at the Horseshoe for the donor drive and get a swab of your mouth taken.

b: You can order the test online and do it yourself.

If you by chance were a match for this child or someone else in the country who needed a transplant, then the doctors would need to harvest your bone marrow. It is a day surgery procedure. I will not say it is painless but it is not extremely painful. It involves harvesting the marrow from your hip bones (across your back). This is done along the same lines as a bone marrow biopsy if you are familiar with that procedure. It's not a risky procedure and is short in duration but gives a life saving gift just like blood!

Are you going to get tested Rhertz??????????????????????????
