Am I applicable to donate blood? (plus give me some relationship advise I really need)

I found out that my ex-boyfriend has leukaemia and his family is asking for blood donations. I realised I technically can donate my blood, according to the checklist they put out, but two things weren't touched in there:

 

1. I got laser treatment (I think that's what you call it) once to remove my hair and more than a couple of times to remove a scar.

 

2. I'm not overweight, but my family is known for having cholesterol and high sugar levels in their blood even if you're a twig. I haven't done my yearly blood check-up, and I don't know if I have any of both issues... if I did, could I still qualify?

 

And another quite redundant (but important for me) question: I was planning to anonymously donate my blood, but I realised I would like to pay him a visit and see how he's doing. We broke up in really, really, really bad terms (a whole mess with his female best friend... no cheating, but still a mess) to the point that we don't keep contact of any kind; I don't even have his phone number anymore. I don't know if given his situation (I don't know how critical it is, though) if it would be appropriate to drop by. What do you think?

Those are things they check before you donate. And as long as you're not taking any meds or had any surgery recently, it should be okay. So just go ahead and give it a try. I might be wrong though, haven't kept up with things like this in a long time.

 

I'm underweight, I'm not allowed to give blood.  :._.:

 

Edit: I don't know what to say about  the other question. Sorry.

I dont know how it is in your country but normally in canada only relatives are allowed to give personally blood to someone in particular Otherwise I encourage you to give blood, they can only keep it for at most 2 weeks ( they separate hemoglobin from plasma and so on ) so they are always in need of more blood!

You can always visit, as someone who cared for that person. People who live with illness sometimes go through the same grieving process than when you suffer a loss in your family so he may be angry, or in denial. Please be considerate of that :).

 

Good luck!
