Myla's Journey

Myla's Journey Bone Marrow Registration Drive for Myla Cunanan. Please see post for more details Myla is 17 year old girl who is a resident of Alameda, CA.

She is very active in helping out in school, church, community, and even at home. She's not your typical little girl. She's always looking out for those around her, making sure everyone is okay. She likes to volunteer to be a teacher's aide every opportunity she gets to and helps out in watching younger students during her recess periods. She is also a member of the choir in the children's worship

service of the Church of Christ in Alameda Congregation. March 2014, Myla was diagnosed with Myeloid Sarcoma. (A myeloid sarcoma (chloroma, granulocytic sarcoma, extramedullary myeloid tumor), is a solid tumor composed of immature white blood cells[2] called myeloblasts. A chloroma is an extramedullary manifestation of acute myeloid leukemia; in other words, it is a solid collection of leukemic cells occurring outside of the bone marrow.) Because of this, she is no longer able to do many of the things she loves to do, but she is always in a high spirit with a very positive outlook. She's always the one to say that she's okay. She wants to get better already so that no one will have to worry for her anymore. She is getting many material gifts, but she says she appreciates prayers the most. Her family is very thankful for all the love and support that Myla is getting. This time, we're asking for participation and volunteers as we hold a bone marrow registration drive. She is in need of a bone marrow transplant. All it takes is about 10 minutes of your time to do a cheek swab sample. Please come out and support this cause. You, with God's help, maybe the one that can help Myla get back to her usual self, back to being active.... back to being helpful.... back to perform her duty as a choir member which she longs for the most. We will post the info of the drive once everything has been finalized. Thank s to the ones who already came forward to to let us know they are more than willing to help. That means a lot to the whole family, especially to Myla.

Congratulations to our warrior who graduated from High School!!! ❤️❤️❤️

A beautiful graduation ceremony attended by family, UCSF teachers and staff took place at the Marie Wattis School in UCSF. Thank you for all the beautiful speeches of teachers and messages from some of the staff who took care of Myla! Special thanks to her teachers Christy, Ms. Alice and Adrienne!!! Big shout out to teacher Adrienne who work so hard in guiding Myla throughout the years! Many thanks to everyone who are part of Myla’s journey.

Congratulations to one of Myla’s relatives who registered as a marrow donor and matched a patient! Thank you Nhia Nabong-Espino for all everything you’ve done! We are so happy that you were God’s instrument to help another patient! ❤️❤️❤️

Nhia registered to the very first marrow drive for Myla. Though she was not a match for Myla, we are so happy to know that she matched with another patient! So far, we know two who registered thru Myla’s drives who matched with patients. Thank you to everyone who already registered. Please help us to continue raising awareness for others who need help. Many patients are still waiting. If you haven’t registered as a bone marrow donor, please register thru Asian American Donor Program (AADP) or Be The Be The Match.

Myla had her appoinment today with her pediatrician. This might be the last one since Myla will turn 18 in a few months. She had Dr. Lee since she was 4.

Myla is forever grateful for this doctor’s care and love! 🥰

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month! Listen to these 2 brave cancer survivors, Myla & Sophia on “Making Changes” podcast ❤️❤️❤️

On September 8, 2018, Myla met Sophia from the East Coast thru facetime when Sophia’s mom reached out to Myla’s mom after watching Myla’s story. Myla was just discharged from a long hospitalization and Sophia was on the early stage of her treatment when they met. 🥰
