That is encouraging that they don't restrict you forever. I have always had a problem with giving blood anyway because of the iron thing (I'm usually not quite high enough although not anemic--that seems to be my natural state), so I don't know why it bothers me so much that now that I've had cancer I can't give but it does. I think it is that idea of being "tainted" actually.
