Need your help

Hi Guys,

I write today to ask for your help. A close friend and colleague has been diagnosed with blood cancer and is in urgent need of a bone marrow transplant. From what the doctors have told us, the transplant itself seems like a relatively simple process - pretty much like a blood donation. However, the common perception that bone marrow transplants are painful makes it difficult to find donors. In this blog I have summed up the exact requirement, and I request you to spread this message to as many people as you can - through email, Orkut, Facebook - anything you have at your disposal.

If you want to help out, please, please leave me a COMMENT ON MY BLOG (RAMKAPOOR.BLOGSPOT.COM) WITH YOUR NAME, EMAIL AND MOBILE NUMBER.

If your blood group is A Positive, and if you are below 50 years of age, you could be a match. What's important is that you need to be willing to donate bone marrow. Like I said earlier, modern technology has made the process itself simple and almost exactly like a blood donation. Once we have your contact, we will arrange for a simple blood test to find if you are a match. When the bone marrow match is confirmed by the doctors, we will arrange for the transplant of the marrow itself, which will happen in Vellore, Chennai, India. The patient's family will arrange for all expenses to be paid. All they need is 2 days of your time (one, to travel to Chennai, and one, for the transplant itself).

The operation could happen anytime after the 10th of July, 2008. Need your help friends. The more people we reach out to, the more chances we have of finding a donor. Forward this message to everyone you can and hopefully, we can help a family in their hour of need. Please come forward guys and try and help save a life.

Keep smiling,
Ram

same Nina i was thinking that.. Blood banks are essential. Now i can see why.

Inshallah someone will come foward soon.. 😊

Just thinking does it have to be just an A, cuz with A's donars with A, O or AB can give blood right? I know O groups can as they have the 'univeral Donar' tag.. They can donate to O, A, B, and AB groups.

Donor -> recipiant chart

O -> O | A | B | AB

A -> A | AB

B -> B | AB

AB -> AB

im thinking, not 100% sure Do correct me if i am incorrect so i can see where i went wrong 😊

Edited

I pray that the person in question finds a bone marrow match ASAP.

So far Mr Ram Kapoor, Ronit Sir, and Ekta ji have made appeals... I hope a match is found before another celeb needs to make any appeal.

Thanks Henny for the blood group info stuff... I was totally clueless about all that.

By the way, the chart you've showed doesn't mention what type I can recieve though (I'm an O negetive) 😕

God bless.

The chart is for blood donation. I think its different for bone marrow transpant. i think your blood type has to match.

Yeah, you're right about that 👍🏼

And even when the person has the same blood type, it's something like a 1% chance that the bone marrow type will match. It's difficult to find matches... but it's not impossible 😊

God bless.
