Child with Langerhans cell histiocytosis recovers from disease with GMA Kapuso Foundation's help
An 11-year-old girl diagnosed with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) has triumphed over the disease with the help of GMA Kapuso Foundation. According to '24 Oras' Friday, Mel Tiangco first met Loanne in 2016 at the tender age of two, fighting the rare disease, looking thin, and having a large abdomen. '[Ang] LCH po kasi meron kang depekto sa cell sa immune system. Kalat 'yan sa buong katawan. Puwede siyang single system, pwede rin siyang multisystem. 'Yung atin pong pasyente, multisystem po siya," pediatric hematologist/oncologist Dr. Michael Cuarteron said. 'Yung bone marrow niya apektado, mababa 'yung red cell niya, mababa din 'yung platelet niya. Tapos 'yung spleen niya, lumaki din 'yun, naapektuhan 'yung liver niya,' he added. Loanne became a beneficiary of the Kapuso Cancer Champions Program in 2016 and received medical treatment through the GMA Kapuso Foundation. Almost a decade later, GMA Kapuso Foundation visited the 11-year-old Loanne, now healthy and vibrant, at her home in Pangasinan. Loanne was also given vitamins, grocery packs, and rice. 'Maraming maraming salamat po sa GMA. Dahil sa inyo, napagamot namin siya nang walang binayaran," Loanne's grandmother, Lani Almojera, said. 'Maraming salamat po sa GMA Kapuso, magaling na po ako. Maraming salamat po kay Tita Mel, dahil natulungan niya ako. Mag-aaral po ako mabuti,' Loanne said. Responding to Loanne, the Kapuso anchor said, 'Walang anuman, Loanne. Masaya ako na makita kang magaling na at sana matupad mo ang iyong mga pangarap.' For those who want to take part in GMA Kapuso Foundation's initiatives, you may send your donations through bank deposits, Cebuana Lhuillier, GCash, Shopee, PayMaya, Zalora, MegaMart, Globe Rewards, Metrobank credit card, and Lazada.
