Around 10 years ago, Huang Wei Cai (transliteration) donated a kidney to save her twin sister who was suffering from kidney failure. Eight years later, however, Huang was unexpectedly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia.
Huang became a beneficiary herself, after she was given the gift of life via a bone marrow donation from a Thai woman who was found to be a match, Shin Min Daily News reported.
Huang, 42, a senior manager, recalled how in July 2021, she was experiencing extreme fatigue and was so tired that she couldn t even walk up a flight of stairs. She had assumed it was due to the side effects from the Covid-19 booster vaccination she had just received. After seeing a doctor, however, Huang was diagnosed with blood cancer.
The diagnosis came as a shock, especially as the doctor told her that her condition was critical and she needed to be hospitalised immediately, Huang told Shin Min.
The doctor added that the only way for her life to be saved was through a bone marrow transplant.
