Bone Marrow Transplant (13)
I have not had one, but my grams went through this when she had leukemia...not sure what kind of info you are looking for, but it is a painful process either way....

Any information would help. I guess mostly with the recovery period. Will they need assistance 24-7?

the giving is much easier then the getting...it seemed the effects werent as much for the donor, id guess because of lack of existing illness. donors for bone marrow are special in my book because it is so painful. (from what I was told by the donors) the two I was in contact with said that they felt tired mostly and took a few days off work. Neither said they needed assistance after the first day.

I'm interested in this info too because several years ago I lost a friend to leukemia.... most of her friends registered to be donors. It would be so gratifying to be a match for someone.

My son is going to be the donor for his father. He has had leukemia for several years now and gotten by. But he was recently tested again and the disease has progressed. Hence the transplant.

So very sorry to hear that. How old is your son?

He's 25. I was just thinking the other day how very proud he was when his son was born and now that son will quite possibly save his life.

My prayers, thoughts and best to your son and your family.

Quite the gift....
Well he will feel pain and then be very tired afterwards for a few days...and then just more tired then usual for up to several weeks. So far thats all I have been told. I was trying to donate for my grams but wasnt able to. Lots of good wishes to you all, its really a tough thing to go through. Please let me know if I can help in any way and keep me informed of how things go?

So sorry to hear about this.
A friend of mine from work went through the same procdure.
All I can remember is him saying "the pain !!" He was the donor.
The donors are the brave ones in this procedure.

Thank you all for your well wishes/concern. I don't think I will tell my son about the pain part. He would do it anyway but no need for him to worry ahead of time.
It's ironic, when the ex and I had this transplant discussion a year ago he said he wasn't going to go through with it because of the expense and because of his age (62). He said there were no guarantees and he would rather leave his money to his son.
My comment was "well I know I really have no say in this but I would think Matt would far benefit from having you present in his life rather than your money."
Perhaps he now agrees.

I would like to know what to expect from someone with some experience, not just what I have read over the internet or heard from physicians.
