ask the doc, who knows, i’m not trying to spook you, the study might be wrong, ask them to retake it, or they put you under some sort of strong drug, that may be to keep you sleeping

I want to show that I don’t have symptoms so i dont loose my job. I am halfway thru a career and dont want to throw it away. Any suggestions are very much appreciated and will most likely save my career.

Has the technology changed or has there been new medical breakthroughs that would permit a sibling who was initially tested negative for compatibility for bone marrow 13 years ago, be able to test positive today in 2008 and provide such bone marrow?
Also, if the sibling has already tested negative and he/she decides to redo the test than mathematically speaking shouldn’t the test yeild the same result (i.e.: test negative)?
Moreover, if someone has sleep apnea, notably obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in its severest form, and he/she wishes to donate his/her bone marrow (providing that the blood test is positive), how would this person be anaesthetised? Does this person need a sleep apnea machine, hence CPAP, attached to them during surgery? Is a surgeon able to perform surgery on this person? If so, how would he/she go about it given the sensitivity and gravity of this situation?
If someone has DVT, blood clotting and takes cumadin for life, can this person be tested ?
