I had to have more than 3 years of chemotherapy. I lost track of the amount of blood I used, but it was a lot. A week before Christmas they found a perfect marrow match for me and in March of 1995, I had a marrow transplant. I'm also a cancer survivor thanks to the many,many people who chose to give the gift of life. Anyone age 17 or older who weigh at least 100 pounds can be blood donors.
