1/ This week, I completed the process of donating stem cells via

. It was straightforward, non-surgical and an overwhelmingly positive experience, and I hope this thread encourages more folks to consider joining the donor registry!

10/ 5 days out, I feel totally fine, and plan to resume regular activity levels asap! Stem cell donation is simple, has outsized impact, doesn’t have to involve anesthesia and all donor costs are taken care of.
Pls consider registering w/ & AMA about it!

2/ Bone marrow transplants are used to treat a number of blood cancers, and require near-perfect HLA-type compatibility for donation to be viable. This is very rare, and relatives aren’t always a match, which is why building a large donor registry is key.

8/ Mine took 2.5, and the blood bank techs played Kamal-Sridevi’s Vaazhve Maayam to keep me entertained💃🏻 The process can lead to a drop in calcium levels, which I felt more sharply than most donors, but I was monitored and given chewables & IV meds right away.

3/ I first heard of the stem cell donor registry through a law school senior in 2018. Signing up involved filling out a form with my details, paying for the HLA-typing process (~INR 1.7k, which is 80G exempt), and sending a buccal (cheek) swab.

6/ Once everything looked ok, I started on a 5 day course of GCSF injections 💉 (nurse comes home) to get my body to produce more stem cells. This can lead to some discomfort – my lower back and ribs hurt, but nothing Dolo couldn’t fix!

7/ On day 5, I was flown out to the donation centre (Madurai in my case), and was hooked up to the apheresis machine through 2 IVs. This can take between 2-6 hours, so prepare to keep your arms still. 🗿

5/ ...regular blood donation++ (your blood is drawn, a machine filters out your stem cells and the rest is sent back into your body). The latter is what I did.
As next steps, I underwent a full body checkup and confirmatory HLA typing to make sure I was eligible for the process.

The 1st BRangan review I read was at 15, on a bus from Salem to Cbe. It had a line that said 'Vivek Oberoi wears the smarmy smile of someone who's read the script and knows he's going to survive and make more bad movies'. Died laughing on that bus, and I've been hooked since.
