Kathy N Jun Jalbuena WILL YOU MARROW MY DAUGHTER?
Tracy Jalbuena, age 43, devoted wife, mother of two sparkling children, ages 15 & 10, Emergency Room physician.
She has a very rare disease. No, let’s back up. Her dad has a very rare (9 in a million) serious d
Read more ... isease called Primary Amyloidosis. Tracy has the same disease ... which is not hereditary. This set of circumstances has not been seen in first degree relatives before! The world over!
Now Tracy has Multiple Myeloma, a blood cancer and a cousin disease to
Amyloidosis. But wait. She has a rare subset of Myeloma which is very
aggressive. Both of these diseases arise from the bone marrow and are insidious and vicious.
Tracy urgently needs a stem cell transplant, formerly known as a bone marrow transplant.
Guess what? There is no donor! Not ONE person out of the 11 million in the National Marrow Registry is eligible to give Tracy life saving stem cells! Why a scarcity of donors? Tracy happens to be of Filipino and European-American ancestry. Her dad has Filipino, Spanish and Chinese blood and her mom has Irish and German. Our melting pot society is melting faster than Asian Americans are registering to be donors.
There she was, three years ago, loving life, raising her children, ministering to her patients' needs in the ER, when .. Wham! She is now the patient with the most basic need of all ~ newly formed, healthy donor stem cells.
Her mom .. that’s me .. always knew that her firstborn child, a daughter, was a matchless, one-of-a-kind. Tracy has a personality that stands out and shines brightly! Yet she seems to be in a class of her own when it comes to misfortune, too. The rarest of the rare diseases and no stem cell donor because of her uncommon ancestry.
This story is multi-faceted, complex and urgent. There are elements of a bright, rising young physician, immigration, assimilation and a rarity of medical diseases. No lack of material here!
In my mother’s heart, I know that a life saving donor can be found for my
'matchless' daughter.
Be a matchmaker, a marrow mate, a life saver by giving something so precious that only YOU can give ~~ your healthy stem cells ~~ to another who needs it!!
With gratitude,
Kathryn Jalbuena
