When someone says they won’t join the stem cell registry because they think donation always means surgery…
Bestie. We need to talk.
One of the biggest myths about stem cell donation is that it automatically means bone marrow surgery. In reality, about 90% of stem cell donations are collected through peripheral blood, a non-surgical process that is much more similar to donating blood than people realize. 🩸🧬
Bone marrow donation can happen, but it’s much less common, and donors are fully informed before moving forward.
So no, joining the registry does not mean you’re signing up for automatic surgery. It means you could be the lifesaving match someone has been waiting for: through a process that is often much less scary than the myth.
Myths stop people from registering. Facts can save lives.
Send this to the friend who still thinks stem cell donation is scarier than it actually is. ↗️
