Yes it hurt but it was like a sore spot on my hip but it wasn't horrible. They only took 300ml rather than 1.5lt which is what they take out for an adult I think so I was lucky. Maybe from the medical side it is worse than the patient that is none the wiser because they are under a general?

Good on you Artechim and Trish for being on the register.
Heh - no, I was talking about undergoing the transplant itself. Donating is quite easy as opposed to the actual process of having a bone marrow transplant.
