A worldwide search for stem cell donors is on, and a simple swab can confirm if you're a match. 🏆
Bron and her entire family's lives were turned upside down when her 18-year-old son Rowan was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia, and when chemotherapy was unsuccessful in beating it, a stem cell transplant from a matched donor became his best chance of survival.
🗺️🖇️ As a child of a mother with Chinese heritage and a father with Scottish and English heritage, a Eurasian donor aged between 18 and 35 will most likely be the best chance of a match. While Rowan's siblings are 50% matches, a full match is crucial for optimal success.
Speaking at a swab collection event at TPCH recently, Bron shared how far stem cell donations have come, explaining that the process is no longer as painful as everyone thinks.
"A swab to check for compatibility takes seconds, and if you're a match, the donation process is minimally invasive, similar to a blood donation, typically requiring only a few hours of your time."

Today is World Sepsis Day, and TPCH patient, Lisa, epitomises turning a potentially life-threatening diagnosis of Sepsis into a personal crusade, bringing hope to millions of people worldwide. 🦠
Lisa contracted Sepsis after suffering from a stroke at the age of 24, which resulted in her losing her left leg, numerous toes and fingertips, among other complications.
Despite the setbacks, Lisa now advocates for people with a disability, contributing her lived experience to grow Sepsis research with the Critical Care Research Group (CCRG) 🔬🧫
Professor John treated Lisa when she first arrived at TPCH 20 years ago and knows all about her sepsis journey and the impact it has had on her life.
"Lisa has lived through this experience and can explain how bad sepsis can be, and how it can present in a million different ways, " Professor John shares.
"There is no single symptom of sepsis. If you are over 18 and have an infection, signs you may have developed sepsis can include breathlessness, fast heartbeat, and changes in behaviour - among many more."

Excellent Hospital... Big thank you to the staff.
Lisa is an incredible lady and inspiration to many ❤️
Sadly we know of a lovely lady that lost her life to Sepsis last week 💔
I cared for Lisa at TPCH all those years ago. An honour to see her courage and endurance against all adversity. Also to work along side John Fraser and all the nurses and allied health staff who worked with Lisa. Xx
Very scary! I got sepsis a few years back, initially had bilateral streptococcus pneumoniae then turned septic, spent about 3 weeks on life support in an induced coma with multiple organ failure, inc heart, liver and kidneys, was on dialysis, and got bilateral jugular thrombosis; my family were told to expect the worst. The ICU team at Caboolture Hospital saved my life, I was in hospital for about 6-7wks. Sepsis can be life threatening!
Lisa Cox OAM is an incredible woman!! A true survivor and advocate for the disability community - so proud to know her
It really opened my eyes when doing my TMS training at work and saw a video of a young Dr that had sepsis, it was absolutely terrifying! This stuff is no Joke.
I remember Lisa when I worked at TPCH I used deliver meals to her. What a lovely amazing person I am so glad the she is doing well.
Had sepsis on 15th October 2020 and spent some time in TPCH ICU. They truly saved my life there.
Sepsis is not fun!! I got Sepsis from a PICC line about 10 years ago.... I was in hospital for almost a month... it was absolutely horrible 😢😞🤢🤮
The CCRG along with John, do amazing work.
