Turning up the Stereo for Claudia

    Hi everyone, Mum and I are leaving for Dunedin Hospital this Sunday the 2nd for three days to make a frame for my head. The frame is needed to immobilise my skull in treatment. It is made very carefully and specifically for me using information from my scans. We'll fly back home again on Wednesday, then it's back to Dunedin on Sunday 9th March to start the Stereotactic Radiotherapy, and we won't be back home until the 24th April. This will be a long time away from Courtney and my little dog Zoe! Courtney and Dad will come to visit some weekends. We are so grateful for the generosity of everyone who has donated to me via this page. Originally we set up the page because we had hoped to raise money to receive the Stereotactic Radiotherapy privately; and while I am lucky to have been accepted for public treatment at Dunedin Hospital, the money that is being raised will help us relieve the burden of being away from home and work. From my family and I, thank you so much. Claudia xx

    After a really stressful past few days and sleepless nights I have just had a phone call from Dunedin Hospital saying that the Ministry of Health have accepted Claudia to be treated by stereotactic radiation! But still scary as they have to do more tests here in Auckland before she goes and can't fit her in till the first week of March. They are paying for Claudia and my flights and part of our accommodation cost. We will still have expenses while we are there and of course I can't work for eight weeks while I take the trip to Dunedin with Claudia. I am grateful for all the donations that we have collected and this will help ease the financial strain we may face during this time. Thank you to everyone for all your support and love for Claudia, it has been amazing for her. Samantha (happier Mum) xox
