Yes I would do it again. No I do not know who received the donation. All I know is she is a 10 year old.

People of mixed descent have the hardest time finding matches so yes they are looking for you too!

For about a month after the donation you will feel a bit tired. It's recommended not to do any strenuous physical activity for 2-3 weeks after the harvest. By the one month mark most people are at least 90-100% back to normal.

There are two methods of donating bone marrow. The more common method nowadays is called PBSC and requires no surgery. You basically get attacked to a dialysis machine for a few hours.

For bone marrow extraction which I underwent there was about a week of soreness. Nothing Vicodin couldn't make better.

The only sentient creatures who would want your bone marrow for nefarious purposes would be hipsters looking for a new snack.
