I just received an email and phone call from Canada Blood Services letting me know that I am a possible match for stem cell donation. Just curious how stem cells help.

Well, i am suffering from leukemia. My bone marrow has stopped working and is not producing blood cells correctly. The bad blood cells are replacing my good cells such as my platelets, hemoglobin and white blood cells. This means i am anemic, can’t clot and my immune system is not working. I am waiting on a stem cell transplant that will allow the doctors to replace my broke ass bone marrow with the donors so i have the ability to produce different blood cells properly. This is a layman’s explanation.
