were did you get your donated marrow? did you have to pay for it? I was a bm donor. while my brother, the recipient, received much financial assistance, I had to pay for everything including my housing and transportation while I was there. I had to donate platlets every day for at least a week. He died a horrible death even though the marrow had taken root. I'm not enthusiastic about being a recipient and don't know of anyone who would care to go through all that.
