StemLife

Sunday lepas, we had appointment with the StemLife's manager. When I was admitted to hospital, a midwife asking me whether I wanted to take blood cord masa delivery nanti. Actually, me and my husband memang plan nak amik cuba ingat nak cakap straight away to doc. The midwife took my phone number and passed to the Stemlife's manager and we sat appointment last Sunday.

She is very nice lady, was a nurse in Singapore for many years before changing her carrier under Stemlife company. Company ni macam bank darah. She explained to us la macam mana process and all that.

Process nye lebih kurang begini, masa delivery nanti, the doctor will take darah dari umbilical cord and placenta. Darah itu akan diasingkan pada beberapa bahagian. Ia akan asingkan untuk dapatkan stem cell, paling minimum mesti 2juta cell. So kalau less than than mungkin cell tak boleh disimpan. Ini kira macam life insurance for our kids and for us. They will keep the blood for 21 years. So within that time kalau anak sakit, or parents or whoever in the family sakit dan perlu stemcell, bolehguna untuk curekan penyakit. Tapi not that easylah utk ahli keluargaa untuk guna sebab kena buat banyak screening. But for sure boleh guna adalah anak kita sendiri, yelah sebab darah dia.

Nanti bila kita beranak, doc akan amik darah dari umbilical cord, tapi kandungan darah bergantung pada panjang cord dan saiz placenta. Lepas je darah diambil, terus dihantar ke KL untuk buat screening. Kalau ada kuman or darah tak cukup, kita tak boleh simpan darah tu. So, ni kira process percubaan. Harap sangat darah dalam rahim kita cukup dan jauh dari kuman.
