主题:【求救】你愿意捐献骨髓吗? -- 速跑
一位大学同学转给了我一样的讯息。看了以后难过到现在。这位新娘子是我的大学校友(复旦大学生物化学,9023班,西西河里应该还有不少她的校友吧。)她的先生以前是中科大的高才生。这件来自新娘的邮件也是我见过的最感人的文字之一。
==================
February 9th, 2004 was our wedding day - I decided to marry my long-time boyfriend Jian Yu a week after he was diagnosed with Acute Leukemia. He is only thirty years old. I could hardly bear the heaviness of the event and I know the best way I can help him is to send the following message to as many people as possible. I am waiting for a miracle and I believe there will be one.
The type of Leukemia Jian has is very aggressive. No one can predict what is going to happen to him in six months or a year. The intensive chemotherapy he is receiving now can only put the cancer into remission temporarily; for his life to continue, he will need a stem cell transplant.
Siblings are normally the best bone marrow donor candidates, but Jian is an only child. He also has not found a perfect match in the existing bone marrow registry.
The National Marrow Donor center has 4.5 million donors currently registered. Taiwan has about 240,000 registered potential donors. Mainland China only has about 20,000 registrants at present. In general, it is difficult to find a match and the Chinese donor pool is so small that it is even more difficult for Jian or other Asian patients to find a match. If you are an Asian, I urge you to join the national bone marrow program now. You can go to a nearby Donor Center or a Bone Marrow Drive in your area. You could be the one who saves Jian, or someone else who is also desperately racing with death. Thanks to recent medical developments, donors usually need only give blood stem cells instead of bone marrow.
I have already registered in the donor center. I may not be able to help Jian right away, but one day I might give a new life to someone else's loved
one. Let's all help each other out. Let's wish that no one will have to let cancer take away his or her life in the future and let's wish that Jian and I will have many, many happy years together.
========================
我想我能提供的切实的帮助,一是去登记捐献,哪怕明知几率很低,但总是为新娘增加了一线的期望;二是让尽可能多的人知道这件事情,相信这个世上古道热肠的人还是多的。
不知可否麻烦铁手将这条帖子置顶几天,多谢了。
谢谢大家!
