Tung Tung

Tung Tung is a 6 year old girl. She has a pair of smiling eyes. However, behind her smiling eyes, is a little girl with thalassemia. Thalassemia is an inherited autosomal recessive blood disease http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalassemia

" There is no cure for thalassemias, and the best treatment available today consists of frequent blood transfusions (every two to three weeks). Bone marrow transplants may also be used, despite the risk of further complications." - wikipedia

Tung Tung is currently undergoing stem cell transplant in place of bone marrow transplants. She has to undergo chemotherapy to ensure that her little body does not reject the stem cells. However, the day before yesterday, Tung Tung experience kidney dysfunction. Doctor has no clue about it & has no medication to it. So far her's is the second case.
