Sara, a recent college graduate, shares her experience with peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) donation. From day one of her filgrastim injections* through donation, Sara shares firsthand how she's feeling and what donation means to her.

*For 5 days leading up to donation, PBSC donors are given injections of a drug called filgrastim to increase the number of bloodforming cells in their bloodstream. The bloodforming cells are then collected through a process called apheresis.
