Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Donation
This is the donation method used in 75% of cases. Peripheral Blood Stem Cell (PBSC) donation is a non-surgical, outpatient procedure that collects blood stem cells via the bloodstream. It takes about 4-8 hours on 1-2 consecutive days. www.deleteblood...
I'm 34 years old and a father of two little boys and I'm fighting leukemia, for people like you is why we know someday my kids are not going to be left alone. thank you for what you did and God bless you brother.
panamiami could you help ne i have cml thent went to aml..but .my wbc counts are ten...the want me to have biopsy bone marrow....im scared. .honestly. .im 37...what should i ask and whete your wbc high or low....thks GOD BLESS...
Wao you have encourage me more to do it as well, I do donate blood and pellets I think is the name, but I was looking for something more to do, you and this video have made my decision. God bless you both, thank you.
God bless you.
I pray for you
Prayers and love. I am fighting it too. Believe in miracles. God loves you. Your healing for His glory. God bless you and your family.
I think what puts so many people off from signing up is hearing "Bone marrow transplant", it just sounds scary. When I first heard of it, I thought it involved drilling into your femur or something.
It's great that you put this video out, it can show people that it's really not a scary process. Thanks for the video man!
Matthew Hunt My experience was no different than donating blood, just a bit longer.
Matthew Hunt me too, i still signed up though
I thought they literally stuck a long ass needle through your skin to your bone & suck that bone meat out #nasty! 😂😂
DoubleXx they do to collect bone marrow, what he did was a peripheral blood stem cell transplant.
Well there actually are 2 methods: and sometimes it may be required to give directly from the bone: they suck your bone marrow out of your hip bone with general anesthesia in a 24 h surgical procedure. and it's about 1 L of bone marrow
What you did for those of us with blood cancer, means the world to me/us! Thank you so much!!
You are an inspiration man. At the current moment, 68,000 people have seen this video. Even if 1% of them register, that could still save someone's life if they match. Great idea making the video, it made it way less scary then it seemed and perhaps even I will go register. Still need to do more research but good on you dude. Hope you're doing well.
Every healthy person should register their marrow. They have no idea how much they could be helping someone. I wish I were healthy enough to do this or to give blood and platelets. They are so precious and always so needed.
God bless you man!! My brother is a young man and has been battling several blood disorders and bone marrow issues. He has to go on the registry! I pray to God that we find a match... We need more people like you... Thanks for the video! I will share it with him. He needs some uplifting right now.
All it takes is a good heart, a few jabs in the arm and four hours watching video. Please give. I will be needing it soon for MDS-AML Leukemia. Thankyou with all my heart. The gift of life.
We need more people like you, the feeling of helping others is wonderful. It will be 10 years in April since I was called upon to donate. It was a surreal experience.
since I have been tested twice but both time the patient has gone into remission. I used to have a fear of needles but the experience helped me overcome that and will achieve 4 gallons of blood donated by the end of the year barring any deferrals due to blood pressure or pulse. I hope you get the opportunity to donate again.
Just got my donor identification card today in the mail and it is also my birthday. What a great gift knowing I could be the gift that saves someone's life.
Wow thats awsome what you did my aunt died from cancer 20years ago but im moved what you did you saved a life may god bless you and your family theres a reward in heaven waited for you thats for sure thanks
Thank you so much for sharing this. You hear so many horror stories about how painful donating bone marrow can be. It's so great to see the full up to date process and how it's done. You really helped take that fear factor that was stopping me from registering away.
The guys who are saying she hit him too hard with the syringe- actually the nurses who do the fastest shots are usually the most experienced ones. 90% of the time, the faster the shot goes in, whether it's intramuscular (like this, needle goes deep into the arm) or just under the skin, provided you know what you're doing, the less it hurts. Usually the more it looks like you're throwing a dart (strong, confident wrist motion) the better hte nurse is at shots. I get a lot more shots than the average person for medical condition and that's my experience. .
SO AWESOME! Thank you so much for donating and for making and sharing this video. I lost my brother to leukemia in 2004 when a matching donor could not be found in any of the world's bone marrow registries. It's SO WONDERFUL that there are caring people in the world like YOU! I was tested, and my tissue type was not a match, so I couldn't donate for my brother. But I immediately joined the registry after receiving my test results, so I have been in the registry since 2004. I haven't been a match for anyone yet, but I am ready if I am ever called. You are a REAL LIFE SUPERHERO in my book! Thank you so much for what you've done not only for the patient receiving your donation, but to help educate the public with your video. YOU ARE A ROCK STAR!!!
Very sorry for your loss. The more people we can get registered, the more people we can save in the future.
I am 50, mother of two. I signed up a couple of years ago. They contacted me a few months ago and here I am I received my forth shot today. I have had a bad disk and back problems before and those shots made me having pains on my lover back and knees and feel a little fever today. I am a little anxious about tomorrow's long hour of collection.
It has not been easy specially if you have young teenagers and no help, but I hope I can help that person who need the stem cells.
The strange thing was a lot of doctors and nurses I spoke with had no knowledge about the process and actually made me wondering if I have made a right decision.
But hopefully everything goes fine tomorrow and I will be done.
Best of luck to you. Just know you are doing a great thing by saving someone's life! I will be praying for you and a successful donation.
Thanks for posting your Video, my twin brother was diagnosed with leukemia in October, just found out yesterday ( 1.17.16) that I am a match. 10 to 10 Match and will be doing this soon so thanks for posting your experience.-Roma
Roma Zachary how's your brother now
I just signed up to possibly be a match for someone until I'm 61. Everyone has been telling me "why it hurts so bad that's crazy" thank you for uploading this I've always said it hurts a lot more for a family to watch someone die than it would hurt for me to donate. This made me feel a lot better❤️
Your the man, God bless you and thank you so so much for doing this, my daughter has Sickle Cell and because of ppl like you there will be many lives saved, thank you.
I juat registered about 10 minutes ago! and decided to check youtube to see the process. I'm so excited! Truly hope I'm a match and can help someone.
God bless your beautiful soul, and the person to whom you give life.
I'm the 500th person to like your video and im doing my donation on This upcoming Monday December 5, 2016. Thanks for sharing
You're a good man. Lemme know how the procedure goes.
+IrishRoo12 thanks...I will! Just started my injections today. They did it in the belly for me...
god bless. hope it went well.
How did everything go?
❤️❤️❤️❤️ ua-cam.com/video/gCTL66CXqcQ/v-deo.html💚💚💚💚
I love you for doing it. I signed up. I just sent in my swabs last week. I'm so excited knowing that I will be able to help someone. JESUS IS LORD!!
Moreen Williams I hope you're a match!
I registered to donate marrow yesterday. The website is sending me a swab kit, and I’ll be contacted if I’m an eligible match for someone. I was nervous about it but after seeing your journey I feel much more confident and I hope I’m a match for someone
Thank you for sharing your story. I had a family member get diagnosed with acute leukemia this year and she required an immediate bone marrow transplant. She was only expected to live another week or two but thanks to the donor, she's been able to prolong her life for another 7 months (and counting) and be with her four young kids. I've wanted to sign up to be a donor but was clueless on the process of donating apart from signing up on Be The Match. I just happened to stumble on your video and you calmed my nerves about the procedure.
I'm also a 2014 grad from the University of Notre Dame, so I loved the shirts! Go Irish!
+Michelle Brown Thoughts and prayers with your loved one. The procedure wasn't very difficult or painful for me at all: not too much different from your average blood donation. I highly recommend getting anyone you know to get their cheek swabbed so we can have more people on record and more matches.
What dorm were you in at ND? I was in Keough, class of 2012 hence the name IrishRoo12.
+IrishRoo12 Thank you, I appreciate it. I was in Cavanaugh! I knew a few guys in Keough. I was closest with Trent Sayers and Jeremey Rae because I ran track with them in school. I believe they were in the class of '13 though.
Best of luck to you!
+Michelle Brown Jeremy lived right next to me one year. I hear he can run a mile in under 3:59...
I am preparing to donate my marrow to my brother ...I am a perfect 10/10 match for him! This video was very insightful...thank you for sharing! I wish I was a perfect match for you too, panamiami!
Tracy Franklin you're doing a great thing
God Bless you for doing this! Such a selfless and loving thing to do. I am, without a doubt, going to register! Again, just wonderful!!! God Bless you!
She hit him really hard with the needle
Right! wth was that all about!?
Thank you for your giving bone marrow and thank you for making this video. I just checked if I could donate bone marrow and I can't. I am 62 years old and weigh too much. I guess I can still donate blood. I'll check into that soon. Thanks again.
Thank you for trying. Please spread the word to anyone who may be eligible
Just got a letter last week saying I was a potential match. I forgot I ever even signed up to be on the registry to be honest. Just waiting to hear back if the patients doctor is going to proceed with everything, then we'll proceed with additional testing. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thank you Sean for sharing your experience with us...
Thanks for posting this! You've inspired me to register at marrow drive that's taking place in two weeks.
Thanks for posting. Registered and they found a patient that needs me. DD will be around the end of June. :-) Helps calm the nerves to see your recap.
Just registered.. and I'm a little scared.. thanks for sharing your experience, I feel a little braver now..
Just registered today at school.... SOOO scared about the pain, I know it's gotten better.. but still... I WILL do it if I can, it's really not about me! :)
Tip of the cap to you sir, you're a good man.
Today is the day I'm going to see if I'm a donator match for my older brother who lives in Arizona. Tommy was diagnosed with Acute Myloid Leukimia about a year ago. Tom underwent chemotherapy for about a month which brought his white blood cell count down to 0 and ridding all his cancerous cells. Well that was a year ago. Just found out his cancer came back and now me being a blood brother I need to go to the hospital here in South Florida to find out if I'm a bone marrow match. I'm told there is a 25 % chance of me being a match. That does not seem like good enough odds for me. I wish it were more like 75%! If I am a match I was under the impression from the video I would not have to fly out to Arizona as your sending the recipient of your marrow to the one in need of the transplant.When I spoke to the nurse in Arizona she informed me if I was a match I would need to come there directly for the transplant. I'm confused,why did you not have to be where the patient was and they are telling me if I'm a match I will need to be there?
I got my match email last week. I get my blood tested on Monday. If I'm clear I sit tight until I hear! Would love support and advice as I am very nervous & excited. I'm also documenting along the way to show the importance of donating bone marrow. I had a friend pass away from 2 unsuccessful donation transplants. I pray I can save a life.
Very happy to hear this! It's a wonderful experience. Please let me know when your documentation is complete; I'd love to see it
IrishRoo12 I absolutely will! I hope it goes as smoothly as yours seem to have gone! :)
+Emily Ann Plizak Any update?
+IrishRoo12 What timing! I just got the confirmation call yesterday and scheduled my physical exam for the next few weeks which means donation time is coming up very soon! Scared, excited, but more scared.
+Emily Ann Plizak how long did it take until you got the call that your a match to someone? I'm just curious I've always wanted to do something like this im turning my papers and swabs in Friday. oh and comment on here when its done I'd like to see it also. thanks
thanks for donating...praying so much that youll be my match!.may God bless you more in your life for being an instrument of His will in us having leukemia,.thanks again,💕
Bone marrow helped my grandpa with his blood cancer bud sadly he's not here anymore 😥😥
I live in Indianapolis, go Irish! Also, I just registered to donate bone marrow.
You're amazing! I found this video as I tried to find information to do the same thing in my country. Unfortunately here, we don't have such a list :/
You're still amazing!
Thanks for the video, buddy. Just signed up on the registry
I almost passed out watching this I am so weak when it comes to anything with injections... I would love to be a donor but I don't think I could fight my anxiety to go through it :( you should feel proud
Why would anyone down this? Awesome, man.
Knowing that another person and their family have a better chance and being healthy is an amazing feeling :)
+MyOriginalUsername Not an amazing feeling they don't care how you feel about it. It's an amazing act they care about (as you said) the fact that they have better chances of getting healthy.
I received an email saying that I'm a possible match. I called them back, answered some questions and was told to wait 2 months. Hope I could help to save someone's life
nguyenantoan1 update please! :)
nguyenantoan1 Any update on this?
Today I registered. Now awaiting my cheek swab kit.
you are the man! thank you for sharing your experience with us.
thank you for doing this.. :) we need more people like you
I just got my acceptance letter to be a bone marrow donor! :)
A big congrats! Let me know how to process goes.
I signed up today, I would have done it sooner if I know it was so easy. I really hope I get the chance to give mine.
Do they typically have you travel to donate? Or could you have done it in Las Vegas? Kudos for saving a life. So awesome!
Watching this and crying
Golden Dome Proud. Thanks for making this video!
good man.....will look into this further and next time i go to give blood i will put my name down. well done fella
That looks like a stem cell donation to me- a bone marrow donation is taken from your hips (using big f-off needles) whilst under general anaesthetic. Still a great thing to have done though!
Thanks for the video we thought that bonemarw was something they take the fluid out from ur back bone but actually it's blood donations u encourage us bless you
Loved the video bro. I just got matched with a patient today.
Thank you so much for the video, I totally thought they had to drill into your bones or something to get it. Now that I see it's just a couple of IV's, I'm signing up to be a donor :D
+Free Stuff Canada Yep only shots and IVs for me
I just registered today
God bless your heart
see his face in 7:35 he's so scared and looking very funny face
You are great.
Wait. No line for the procedure? (in the jugular or femoral arteries). I thought that was a requirement, I guess not!
Just registered!
i thought bone barrow was taken through your hip/pelvic bone?
You can give from the bone itself or through stem cells. I did the latter and it was easy with a quick recovery
I had a call thursday 27th Sept 2018 in England to say I am likely to be a match for someone. Waiting to hear what happens next
I registered today!
wow VERY IMPRESSIVE
God bless you!
I'm thinking about donating. How was the recovery? I have a 2 year old daughter and I think that is all I'm pretty nervous about. Thanks for making this video!
your a true hero..i have luijimia..and have been heald by GOD.....😌💒
I'm superrr late to this video ahaha but I was wondering what happens if you need to pee during the big procedure?? 😳 Also do you know if you can donate internationally? I'm moving to another country soon and I'm afraid that if I get chosen I might have already moved by then... Anyways thanks for sharing! I definitely want to sign up to donate :)
Great man you done a good job... Sure I'll donate ASAP
I'm donating tomorrow, signed up in 2009 and got called a few months ago that I was a match. luckily for me the hospital I have to donate at is 10 min from my home. I'm in the Chicago area. did your bone pain and head ache go away after donating? I've had terrible back pain And a head ache since the injections started
Afternoon Bite No I don't remember much pain. Thanks so much for your donation! You're doing a great thing
Afternoon Bite how did it go?
hey it went great the nurse's said it was the fastest time the have ever seen. 2 hours and 15 min. which is why my body pretty much felt like it was going to explode along with my head because I had built up so much white cells in my body from the injections
ilq222 Keep in mind you are saving someone's life when you donate.
don't be nervous at all to sign up. it's a beautiful thing in life to be able to help someone else even if you don't know them. I was back to work two days after the donation. it was like the worst hangover of a headache is how I was trying to explain what the worst part of the process leading up to the donation day was like.
As much as I would love to donate bone marrow or blood, I cannot get over my fears of sharp objects going inside me. If I were in your position, I would be sceaming, crying, and most likely pass out. I do want to donate but I am such a wimp.
+Shananay Lopez I know its hard but you just have to think about whats going on on the other end of the donation process. There is a person who could be very sick that gets poked at all day with needles and they are fighting for their life. I thought the least i could is suffer for a week while going through the process.
+Mallory Ryann that was my thinking as well
+IrishRoo12 I donated blood at my school and was shocked at how many people didn't care to donate. I absolutely hated the process and even passed out but its all worth it. Thanks for uploading this video. I just registered and my swab kit is on its way! Super nervous and excited. Praying I'm a match!
+Mallory Ryann I donated blood at my school recently too, and I'll admit I was nervous when I went in, but it honestly wasn't really THAT bad in the end. Everybody was telling me that the worst part was when they prick your finger to test your iron level, I barely felt a damn thing at that part of the process, so I have no idea what they were talking about.
It's worth mentioning though at my school, almost everybody was willing to donate, and a patient got my blood around the Christmas season.
I’m signing up and get my swab in the mail soon. I’d love to save a life but I’m super anxious when it comes to pain. How bad is it? My friend says the pain is horrible, his dad did it. Also do they put you out during the donation? Or do you stay awake?
Just learned my sister may need this. Thanks for the info. How much time did you take off from work?
My employer gave me 2 days off
Okay but what if you have to pee during the procedure? Can you move your arms? Id want to be able to read or draw or something. I'm not much of a watch tv person.
Kind of looked similar to dialysis. I guess one line was blood out and one line was blood in and then the machine pulled out whatever it needed from your blood?
U are legend god bless you
You’re a real cool fella. This is inspiring me to do the same.
What a great heart you have. Your a great blessing. Love this keep up the good work!☆☆☆☆☆
thanks, tomorrow i'm going in for a blood donation and also got a form all filled out to register to the bone marrow registry. Wanted to know what the procedure might look like.
I signed up for bone marrow donation at school, didn't know they actually stick a fat needle into me. I will go if matched but man, I'm praying ain't gonna be me, I'm scared of needles :D
Liem H I hope it's you so that you can save a person's life!
I hope people don't catch cancer :D
I just registered, thanks for this video.
hackerfreak18 I hope you're a match!
IrishRoo12 thank you, me too
Great job Buddy!
Hello, thanks for posting this video. I'm hoping to sign up to do this when I'm a little bit older because I'm still a little too young to donate in my country. I was just wondering if the nurses mentioned not being able to donate if you have had a blood transplant yourself or if you have to wait a certain amount of time after major surgery. If you know the answer that would be very helpful as I can't find any websites that will completely answer those questions. Thank you and congratulations.
Do you get paid for giving bone marrow? I'm asking in a nice tone with the intent to donate either way. Thanks
No, it's a volunteer event
I just registered for the bone marrow donation! Hopefully I am a match for someone.
hi Shawn, thank you for your video. It helped me to make a good decision ;)
So what you did here is similar to donating blood, but a lot longer? Because I've heard that donating bone marrow can be painful, but if this is one way to donate, I might do it myself one day. Because I've donated blood before, and if what you did here is almost similar to that, I just might do it.
It's a stem cell donation almost identical to giving blood except it took about 4 hours. I hope you are able to put your bone marrow on record. Follow the link in the description and you may be a match for someone. No obligation applies of course
my problem is getting to the location! what if i match and i can't afford a plane ticket :(
They pay for everything. And there are several hospitals that do this nationally; you wouldn't necessarily need to travel to San Diego.
That's a relief! I'm waiting on my swab test to come in the mail :) I hope I match!
I was on the list for about 7 years before I matched. It's 1 in 500. :)
oh wow i hope i can match if at all then
So are the tubes in your arms in the vein like an IV or is it in the bone there?
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing man!!
When you wanna be a donor but you’re only 16
Errrr gotta wait a few more yearssss
My husband is trying to figure out if he would be a match for his brother. He wants to know what type of physical test you had to go through before donating ? Any help is appreciated thank you!
There's 2 types of ways to donate: 1) through bone marrow in the hip 2) through stems cells in the blood. The type I did, as you can see in the video, is the latter. All I had to do to prepare was receive a series of shots that increased marrow in the plasma. I'm not sure what kind of prep is involved in the 1st way or if it's the same.
IrishRoo12 does it hurt donating, like everyone says?
I have a question: how much of our blood is actually "on the outside" during the experience?
I thought since bone marrow site I looked up googled before finding your page says that anthesthea would be used so I thought they aspirated it from bone. I can't be bone marrow donor due to health issues. But if I knew it was not going into the bone I can share that info maybe get other to donate. I been sick since age 4with autoimmune diseases why can't donate. Would not want someone with cancer to devolpe other health issues...plus I am on immune depressant of low dosage chemo therapy myself since have jra and on biological med called humria that depressant my immune system
God bless you..
how much do they collect 250 ~300 ml? looked like that much in the bag.
Is the girl okay? She sounds like she's slurring
