Organ Donation
I just read on a bc fb site that I should have the organ donor thingie on my driver's licence taken off. It makes sense but I had never thought about it.

- I knew I couldn't, for five years after active treatment. Have never found anything on the precise reason
- I hadn't thought about that either, but I guess it makes sense.
- I think the problem has to do with the immuno-suppression drugs that the receiving patients have to he he but I could be wrong. I hadn't even given it a thought.
- I took Keith off the organ donors list back when he had his cancer diagnosis & chemo in 2010. So, even tho I didn't have chemo, I am assuming my organs would be no good either - even tho the cancer was only in the breast ( but do we really know?!)
I am not sure if prospective recipients are given the choice of whether their organs come from a 'clean skin' or a cancer patient ....... I know who I'd choose tho!!
It really should be spelled out in very clear English - as to who CAN donate their organs and why!
Mind you - we CAN still donate our bodies to Science, for them to see if we can help them with other things ...... (just not organ donation!??) - Yet another thing this takes, we can't give blood either.
