I would if I could (I have incurable blood cancer and not allowed to donate blood products or organs). I will always be so grateful to those people who choose to donate and help others. Your donation really can save lives.
I tried twice last year. They knocked me back both times. Apparently being dehydrated caused my veins to be hard to see. Fucking annoying when I wasn’t dehydrated. Just fat.
The pathologist managed to take blood for sampling. But the blood donor centre didn’t even bother trying.
