'The past decade has given us Kel at her best - she is now a wife, a new mother, and has always been a doting daughter, sister and friend to all.'

Actress Oei, who is Ms Fan’s sister-in-law, wrote:"The past decade has given us Kel at her best - she is now a wife, a new mother, and has always been a doting daughter, sister and friend to all."She is currently battling an aggressive terminal blood cancer, Acute Myeloid Leukemia, which starts in the bone marrow.

According to Mothership.sg, Ms Fan is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment, but urgently needs a suitable bone marrow donor. There are no suitable matches for her on the international registries, and her previous"miracle match" donor is not a viable option.Signing up as a donor is a straightforward process that requires those between 18 and 49 years to complete a self-administered cheek swab and registration form.

However, the registration process is lengthy, and donors may only be listed on BMDP's register up to two months later. BMDP is Singapore's only public register providing unrelated donors for patients with terminal blood-related diseases.
