.
Before Mia arrived, I, like all mothers, fantasized about all these wonderful moments:
first time she looks at you,
first time she laughs,
first step,
first time she calls me “mama”
But reality isn’t as wonderful as imagined:
there are those sleepless nights,
times when I have no clue what’s upsetting her, and non-stop worrying about her development.
.
People ask me if I’ve enrolled her for any playgroups or if I’ve decided which school for her to go to, the answer is no. Her health and well-being is my priority at the moment, and having Smart Cells making my baby’s health their priority as well relieves me of a lot of stress and anxiety.
.
Being the first company in the UK to release stored stem cells to treat children with life-threatening illnesses, Smart Cells has been with me since day one of my pregnancy until the day Mia arrived, and will be for 25 more years.
.
Before that, I never knew the stem cells collected from my baby’s umbilical cord can be used to protect my family from over 80 conditions and diseases, including Leukaemia, Anaemia, Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and Impaired Immune Systems.

Thank you Smart Cells Hong Kong 英國寶諾臍帶血庫 for safeguarding me and my loved ones.

--------------------------------
Diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (Blood Cancer) in April 2018 while I was in Spain. Age 32.
Induction chemotherapy started 2 days after diagnosis.
Returned to Hong Kong for 3 rounds of consolidation chemotherapies and a bone marrow transplant.
My wonderful donor match is unrelated and found thanks to the efforts of bone marrow donor registries in Hong Kong and in China.
Bone marrow matches are not easy to find, so if you do match someone, you're likely the only hope of survival for said someone.
