Elsie Cartwright, four, who was diagnosed with very severe aplastic anaemia, a rare condition that stops the bone marrow from producing any new cells, was saved after receiving a transplant of stem cells from an anonymous donor.
It's a rare condition that stops the bone marrow from producing any new cells, meaning that Elsie had little to no immunity to fight off infection.
"I remember saying to our consultant, 'I can't see her go through another infection like this, I don't think she'll make it'.Her younger sister, Mya, was not a genetic match, but doctors at Sheffield Children's Hospital were able to find a stem cell match on the UK stem cell donor register.The donor, who remains anonymous, was contacted and agreed to a procedure to extract stem cells.
"You can sign up on the DKMS or Anthony Nolan's website and you simply fill in your details, and they send you back a swab to get some DNA and then send that back."The father-of-two was diagnosed with an incurable blood cancer, myeloma, and given seven years to live.But Mr McCleave's southeast Asian heritage means it's harder to find a genetic match.
