38 year old male
Married with 2 children
Profession : Engineer
Harish is a married engineer with 2 children. He and his wife both registered at a bone marrow drive in August of 2000. He anxiously waited many years until in the winter of 2006, when he received a phone indicating he was a potential donor for an unrelated patient.
Without a second thought he immediately gave his consent for a confirmatory blood test. After sometime it was confirmed that he was indeed a match and in April of 2007 and with the unwavering support of his wife, he consented to the life saving procedure. Harish also donated his stem cells successfully using the Peripheral Blood Stem Cell collection (PBSC) process. He described the hormone injections (Neupogen) as causing “some bodyaches, and felt tired for couple of days”.
He encourages potential donors by saying that, “for a few days of a little pain you can give the gift of life” He pleads to “please do it(become a donor) and I am glad I was gifted to save someone’s life”. Today Harish frequently volunteers at bone marrow drives and continues his life as a husband, father, and engineer.
