Poll suggestion - blood group & Rh factor

by Kate on Thu Feb 28, 2013 9:56 pm

Hi,

I was wondering if you would be interested to run a weekly poll to find out the blood groups and Rh factor of hopefully most members. However, if there are official numbers / statistics known already, maybe you could post them?

Hi Kate,

Is this the sort of information you are looking for?

The information is not specifically for myeloma patients. However, it's not clear from your question whether you are looking for information specific to myeloma patients.

Hi Beacon Staff,

Thanks for your reply.

I was only interested in myeloma patients. There are obviously official #s from the cancer registry, which are age-, gender-, and race-specific, but I haven't found anything 'official' on a possible blood group and Rh-factor connection on the Internet (hence my question if you had such info).

I am / was just curious if you could run a poll on blood group and Rh factor in your regular weekly polls.

I think it would be a very good idea to run a weekly poll on blood groups of myeloma patients.
