Quote from member : It has been almost two years since I first
came across the Hong Kong Bone Marrow Transplant Patients' Association.
I was undergoing bone marrow transplant at the time, and without
knowing much about leukemia and bone marrow transplant, I
was sent to the operation. The volunteers from the group has
helped me alleviate my fear through sharing their personal
experience with me.
Volunteer visits is an important source
of encouragement and support for patients. Being survivors
themselves, they are able to give suggestions on problems
and difficulties with a much warmer touch. I wish to sincerely
thank them for being with me during this difficult time which
helps to give me the peace I need during treatment. |
