My recovery is going well, but still have some pain. That's normal since I'm not quite 3 months post-op. Hope this helps. Kim |

Why would a person receiving the skin from the cow, not have their immune system try to reject it. Is this skin, prepared in such a way that it doesn't harm a person as in a bone graph? Just curios ....ginnie

The "skin" is tissue from the heart muscle, bovine pericardium. This is not unusual. The only drawback is that the person receiving the tissue is no longer acceptable as a bone marrow donor. However, considering the benefits, this trade-off is well worth it. While I can no linger donate marrow, I do grow my hair for Locks of Love, in honor of the woman who first inspired me to become a marrow donor.

Thank you for donating your hair. I have alopecia universalis, and I can tell you the children who are hit with this disease, as well as cancer are helped so much by what you do. Thank you again. ginnie
