White blood cells needed for the next three weeks.
A+ and O donors can go to NUH blood centre, tell the nurses that its for anna.
Please note that White blood cells platelets donations is different for blood donation.
The nurses will first do a test to see if you’re a suitable donor. ( free from Hep diseases, HIV free etc, sufficient iron count)
The transfusion of white blood cells will be better if you are a man( because guys have bigger veins)
Believe you will have to make about 2 trips to the blood centre.
The first time to do the test and the second is to do the transfusion which can takes up to 5.5 hours.
These white blood cells meant for anna is to help her fight off viral attacks and is important for her bone marrow transplant( imminent).
Pls help!
Ps: anna is not doing too bad at the moment but she will do better with the white blood cells...
