    It is extremely painful. Extremely. This is why there are not enough donors, because the world is lacking cajones.

    MRD has it. It's not a pleasant experience from what I've heard... which is why they usually try to match up family members first, before they ask for donors.

    Aye it hurts they use a very big very thick needle in your back with no anesthesia. But you now what if i needed to do it hell I would and without a second thought. You save someones life most likely and lets be honest you aren't really losing anything like if you donate a kidney. While I may second guess donating say a kidney to a complete stranger I would have no qualms giving up marrow for a sick person in need.

    But yes i heard it hurts like the devil.

    Pretty painful as to my knowledge you can't anaesthetize bone, but very noble as you could be saving someone's life and each operation on a person requiring a donation costs $0.5 million.

    I honestly don't think I am that brave. Hospital stay coupled with all that painful procedure. I appreciate the info thus far, it has been very good to learn.

    Pain is weakness that leaves the body.

    That's... Just wrong in so many ways.
    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.
