She was one of the nine matches on campus and donated bone marrow last summer. Because Adams had to donate more bone marrow than usual, it took her a little longer to recover. That's what's important. I would give five times what I gave. Registering involves donating two vials of blood.
Medical staff tests one of the vials immediately, while freezing the other for later testing.
According to Sargent, there are six factors that have to match up for the staff to consider a person a potential donor. Once a match is made, the person gives more blood for further testing, and later, the donor enters the hospital for the procedure. All traveling and hospital costs are provided by the patient's personal funds or insurance. You'd hope someone would do the same for you. We don't want to have anyone pay.
