I was matched today, what are the chances I get to help?

After about a year on the registry I was fortunate enough to be matched with a lovely woman fighting leukemia. I am so excited to be considered and apart of this process, and I wanted to ask previous donors about how common it is to be approved after sending in bloodwork?

The woman on the phone kept saying “if you are approved”, and I would love to know what’s the probability I will be approved?

I am 22 and healthy, and I don’t have any underlying conditions or problems.

I just don’t want to get my hopes up just yet if I’m not chosen, and I’d like to know if there’s anyone who was matched but not approved after bloodwork.

This is such an honor to me, and hits close to home since I’ve lost a few people to cancer, so I want to help and potentially save or prolong someone’s life!

Thanks so much!
