Reply To: Chats: What was your biggest concern about coming forward as a possible donor?

[Kriss]

Yes, one of my big concerns was actually getting to the clinic when I needed to, whether I’d be able to cover the expenses (and when they would be paid back to me - I was working part time), worries about what the treatment involved as well. I wasn’t an Altrui donor and didn’t know any other donors to talk to, how I wish there had been something like this as it was initially quite a scary prospect and it would have been great to have someone to talk to.

Strangely enough I didn’t worry too much about the self-administered injections till the actual day I had to pick the drugs up - I think I was going la, la, la, in my head about that. But actually it turned out to be fine and after some initial hiccups it was so much easier than I’d thought.
