24-year-old Hongkonger Combating Against Rare Disease: "This disease is painful, but I don't want to die!"
24-year-old Sheryl Ng is in dire need for a lung transplant to save her life; her doctors say that this is "Sheryl's only hope". Her family is appealing to the public with type O blood to donate both their lungs after death.
Sheryl is afflicted with aplastic anaemia, a disease which caused her body to produce insufficient blood cells. Ever since developing the condition in her teenage years, Sheryl has needed frequent blood transfusions to replenish her blood cells and platelets. After receiving a bone marrow transplant late last year, however, she suffered a complication known as pulmonary vein occlusion, blocking her blood circulation. She is now in ICU where her life is sustained by heart-lung machine.
Sheryl's mother describes her as a brave and strong woman, enduring years of frequent hospital visits without complaint.
One time, Sheryl phoned her from her hospital bed saying, "this disease is painful, but I don't want to die"; Sheryl still has a lot of fight left in her. Her father said that she went through difficult emotional struggles, at one point saying that she "wanted to die", but ultimately she wanted to fight for her life to the very end. Even now, he says, she continues to research online for new information on her disease.
Sheryl's parents are hoping for a kind-hearted donor to come forward, to "extend life with life". Ever since developing the disease, they said, Sheryl's daily life is filled with restrictions: she could not go on field trips with her high school class, and she would have breathing difficulties when riding planes, roller coasters, or even simply walking up stairs.
Sheryl's wish is simply "live a normal life, and perhaps go travelling".
