The place where you donate blood could probably tell you where to donate platelets. Or ask the Red Cross or your local hospital.Ronni Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00036024135497392070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4179516101180622376.post-27569108907297176592009-04-11T14:06:00.000-07:002009-04-11T14:06:00.000-07:00100% donor is beautiful news.

I found most people do not understand anything about blood components or transfusions. Even had one person ask me if he gave blood to my son if he might develop leukemia. (hard to keep a straight face answering that one!)<BR/>Keep on keeping on!<BR/>NelleNellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06927983874624510031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4179516101180622376.post-65556980469971510442009-04-10T19:47:00.000-07:002009-04-10T19:47:00.000-07:00Wow, first I'm thrilled to hear the good news.

"Up and to the right" is always good when tracking numbers, right?<BR/><BR/>Is there something special someone needs to do to donate platelets? I donate blood, but I'm happy to do platelets too. I just don't understand much about the process. Or is it just a very refined form of blood donation?<BR/><BR/>Any info you've got would be great. I'm so happy to hear you're doing better.Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13986691850241713965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4179516101180622376.post-77245381884998915792009-04-10T17:43:00.000-07:002009-04-10T17:43:00.000-07:00Good news!
