Amelia Worth has passed away awaiting her Stem Cell Transplant

I blogged about Amelia's condition a while ago and was very sad to see this recent article published saying that she had passed away.

Apparently she won her fight to find a matching donor, but not in time for a the transplant to be performed. She had her chemotherapy, had an infection and succumbed in a coma.

For what its worth, I hope she was not in pain.

And I hope that people will consider banking their stem cells just in case they need it, not because I'm promoting the service but really because when you read stories like hers, you really wish that there was something that you could have done earlier. :(

Read the story here.
