Because of severe anemia and unable to proceed with the next treatment, Ms. Hang, who was suffering from high-risk multiple myeloma, was once in despair; , the medical resources are under heavy pressure, and there is not much hope for Ms. Hang to obtain the blood source in time. However, she was pleasantly surprised that, after learning of this situation, the Fengxian District Blood Station urgently distributed a sufficient amount of blood to Shanghai Liquan Hospital, where Ms. Hang is located, to provide the patient with the source of life in a timely manner. This is a warm little thing that happened in Fengxian District during the epidemic.
Ms. Hang, 56, from Ma’anshan, Anhui Province, was diagnosed with high-risk multiple myeloma in the first half of last year. After a period of treatment, her condition improved.

I don’t have much hope for the blood source. At the critical moment, the blood bank in Fengxian District is very powerful. I am grateful to the blood bank for its assistance to the critically ill patients and to provide my mother with sufficient blood in time. The epidemic is raging, but what we feel is boundless love!”

On April 11, she was finally able to enter the sterile laminar flow room of the hospital and began the next step of treatment. On the 18th, Ms. Hang successfully returned the peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cells and third-party umbilical cord blood stem cells from the donor, that is, Ms. Hang’s son, and is currently undergoing treatment in the laminar flow warehouse of the hospital.
