I actually just donated blood for the first time a month ago… but more interestingly I was just contacted on Friday of Chol Hamoed with the news that I am a match for a 56-year-old woman with leukemia for bone marrow. I’ve noticed that this is not as rare as one would have expected in the Jewish commmunity (I know 3 other people who were discovered to be matches and ended up donating). They are going to call me back on Wednesday to work out the details, so I was wondering if anyone else has donated and knows what kind of issues I should be aware of/questions to ask.
