Why is this IMPORTANT?
Cancer patients need platelet transfusions when the platelet-producing bone marrow cells are damaged by chemo or radiation therapy or when they are crowded out of the bone marrow by cancer cells.
What happens after 31st October?
It will take 5 days to get your results. Then you can start donating platelets on a regular basis. You will receive a call from the hospital whenever there is a requirement.
Everything else will be explained to you on the day.
Platelet donation is different from normal blood donation. Platelet donation is done via a machine that recirculates your blood and extracts platelets. The entire process takes about one hour. If you clear the assessment, then you can take up this noble activity at least once a month or whenever you receive a call from Tata Hospital
