Stem cell donor hopes story inspires others to give – KEYC

The process for me was actually called leukapheresis. What they do, they give you an IV in both arms, extract the stem cells that way. If youve ever been in a hospital had an IV fluid, its the same process, just a little bit longer. They take your blood, separate the stem cells from the blood and you get everything back. For me, it was painless, it took four hours. They planned for two days, but it was a quick turnaround time and everything went perfectly, said Booker.
