Hahahahha

In a baggie!!? HA HA HAHA!!!

You know what? I use to say to my girls (i mean, when i'm dating some girl)

and i feel something deep for her (or them, ha!) that i could give her my

blood if she were thirsty... well i think i shouldn't be saying that

anymore, ha~!! (i mean, in spanish sounds better.... " si tuvieses sed me

cortaría las venas y te daría mi sangre para que vivieras... " something like

'if you were thirsty i would cut my veins off and i would give you my blood

for you to live... " do you like it>? :-))

Kiss.

Hi, Rodrigo -

I assume you're talking about donating blood, as opposed to giving someone a

gift of your blood in a Baggie? ;-)

No danger for you, but not such a good thing for other people.

In the US, the general standard is no blood donations until 5 years after

cancer remission. However, as you already know, we're special, and while

it seems to vary from place to place, there are some blood

centers that won't accept donations from people who have ever had thyroid

cancer. We know (because we need to be monitored for recurrence

forever) that thyca cells can linger in our bodies forever,

however microscopic they may be, and I wouldn't want a loved one to have my

blood unless there were absolutely no choice in the matter.

If you want a lengthier response, see

In any case, you're not in a position to be giving out your blood for a

while, at least.
