In 2023 our children, Daniel and Karla were registered with Be The Match in case someone needs their bone marrow/ stem cells. On November 29th, our son, Daniel matched with someone who needed his bone marrow to treat a blood disease. People are afraid to donate because they may not be aware that their stem cells are harvested with a peripheral blood draw. By registering today , you could save a life!
Every year, 18,000 patients are diagnosed with life-threatening blood cancers or other blood disorders that could be cured or treated with a blood stem cell transplant. But 70% of them don't have a fully matched donor in their family. They depend on NMDP℠ to find an unrelated donor
I am sharing these pictures of Daniel during the collecting day!

Meet Dr. Xiomara Rocha-Cadman, serves as President and Founder of The Rocha-Cadman Foundation and is an Associate Clinical Professor and Chief of the Division of Psychiatry within the Department of Supportive Care Medicine at City of Hope. A nationally and internationally recognized leader in consultation-liaison psychiatry and psycho-oncology, she specializes in the psychiatric care of patients with advanced cancer, hematologic malignancies, and those undergoing stem cell transplantation.

Born and raised in Nicaragua, Dr. Rocha-Cadman dreamed from an early age of becoming a physician, driven by a passion for learning and a deep commitment to caring for the whole person. Personal experiences with cancer later inspired her to specialize in psychiatry—specifically psycho-oncology—with the goal of easing the emotional burden cancer places on patients and their families.​

After completing fellowship training in psycho-oncology, Dr. Rocha-Cadman joined the faculty at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, where she served as the psychiatrist liaison to the Bone Marrow Transplant Service. She subsequently joined City of Hope, where her clinical, scholarly, and leadership work continues to focus on integrating psychiatric, palliative, and psychosocial care across the cancer continuum.​

A central focus of Dr. Rocha-Cadman’s work is reducing disparities in cancer care, particularly for Latino and underserved populations. She is a dedicated advocate for the Latin community and remains deeply committed to education, mentorship, and collaboration with colleagues across Latin America. Outside of her professional roles, she is a marathon runner and finds her greatest joy in time spent with her husband and children.

Alleviating pain is not just a medical goal it is a basic human right and a fundamental condition for preserving dignity and quality of life. 🎗️

During the second edition of the National Week Against Cancer Pain (Semana Nacional Contra el Dolor por Cáncer 2025), the Palliative Care Council of the Argentine Society of Medicine (SAM) united to raise awareness about the vital need for access to palliative care.

With 130,000 new cancer cases diagnosed each year in the country, pain remains one of the most frequent symptoms. This initiative provided free care, answered critical questions, and created safe spaces for families to share their experiences. As Dr. Ariel Cherro highlights, we still have so much to do because pain cannot leave us indifferent.

Watch the full summary of this impactful week and join the movement for dignified care:
