HISTORY 1
When at the end of 2007 we were told that Mony (my wife) only hope was a transplant of bone marrow with a donor and there was no family support, we had to turn to bone marrow donors World Bank to find a person on earth that would be compatible with Mony. It was so a donor from Germany turned out to be compatible and in February 2008 the operation which gave us so much hope could be done. We knew that it was difficult, the procedure was very risky, but there was a hope… and we cling to it. I can not explain the happiness of knowing that 15,000 km, on the other side of the planet, there was a human being could do that Mony had chances to be cured. Yes, although he had a terminal illness, there were possibilities of cure. The transplant was successful, so much that his bone marrow was 100% German and free of disease. But we knew that there were other factors and that the high risk. I know of many cases that have saved life… I tried to convey my experience to get to know the importance that has this gift for someone who receives it and his family.
Yourself a hope someone…
