Can I donate bone marrow with a history of cutaneous lymphoma?
I had cutaneous T-cell lymphoma this year and am now cancer-free. It was a tumor on my arm without lymph node or organ involvement is limited. I wonder if I could still be a bone marrow donor?

I don’t think you can. They’re pretty picky when it comes to a history of cancer, especially a blood cancer like Lymphoma. Here is the bit from the National Registry:

I’d love to donate blood or marrow, but I never can and that really does upset me. I’d love to help someone else, considering a stranger helped save me.

Sorry, but you may not. Recipients require completely risk-free tissue transplants.
