need advice for blood donation etc.
Hello Ladies, today is my pre - assesment for surgery on 3rd of Oct. while I'm talking to the nurse 1 woman came she as for blood donation,studying for this kind of disease UCL/UCLH Biobank for Studying Health and Disease (based at Pathology-Rockefeller building and UCL Cancer Institute) I sign up I gave 5 tubes of blood today, and another blood test when I'am in the operating room & they will get smear also while I'm sleeping and saliva,urine, I read the copy of the letter they don't inform me what the result,she said its anonymous, can someone give me advice if I will do it or not?
I took part in 3 different Endometriosis studies. I would love to know the results and how it helped the study but in the end most likely that will not happen.
I took part in a DNA one about two years ago and just recently two more during surgery. They took pieces of tissue after it was tested for Endo and fluid in the pelvis. They are looking for certain factors to try to find out if certain cells, people etc carry something in common in order to try to diagnose Endo a better and faster way.

Hi Kouu, Thank you for your reply & advice I will do it I know it will helps for all woman's in the future..& hopefully they find how to cure Endometriosis :(
I mean, it would be nice to get the results but if that's not how they're running the study, then that's not how they're running the study.
It doesn't sound like it will do you any harm to participate. As a research assistant, I personally feel that if someone can help in a way that does not do them harm, it is almost like a duty for them to do it. For all you know, it could greatly influence research for this disease and help other people who have it in future.
If there is some aspect that you're particularly concerned about, then I'd just try to contact them about it.
