@katyrae83 from the donor side of things, I can say that after a viable candidate is found, there are a million appointments (most of mine were over 3 day period at Mayo) all in the interest of the donor. They went over everything including medical, financial and psychological testing. They wanted to make sure I was aware of every possibility before, during and after donation. I have never felt more taken care of.

At any point, I could have decided not to donate for any reason right up until the time of surgery. @cmael is correct in saying to let the donor decide and I'd encourage any potential donor to check out this site to find out more about it from a non medical point of view.

Thank you! First and foremost, thank you for being the generous, giving person that you are. I know there's a lot of love in you that prompted you to become a donor. We all know that many, many people are lifted up by a single donation, the patient who receives the donation, as well as all those who love them, and so many others! It's great to see how you as the donor have also been lifted up by your gift. You are inspiring!
And thanks for reminding me to trust the process.  Hugs 🤗
