DEBBIE'S TARLOV CYSTS

  • Update- New Zealand Surgery for my Tarlov Cysts Disease

      28 November 2014

    Enter details of your update here Morning, I want to update on my progress of getting this Tarlov Cyst Surgery that is much needed. I have now been offered Acute Surgery in New Zealand, from a very kind neurosurgeon. I am still fundraising for much needed funds for out going expenses that this operation is going to cause. The recovery period for this operation is at least 2 years as I am a complex case. This operation is to get the compression of the nerve roots and to stop the bone erosion, and then once the operation has been completed that's when the healing of the nerves starts, I have been told I may lose function of organs, or walking just depending on the nerves and how they heal. If I don't do the surgery I am going to lose function of organs etc, so we have decided to take the risk and try here in New Zealand as I have become a urgent case with the progression of this disease. If anyone can help me big or small with donations I really appreciate it. We don't get any financial help at all, we are on our own with this rare disease. Thank you for your time reading this and my motto is to keep positive always, Debbie

  • Fundraising for Debbie's Tarlov Cysts Disease Update

      18 October 2014

    Just wanted to update and say a huge big thank you for the donations that have come through on Givealittle so far, I really appreciate everyone donating and the kind words. I do have a long way at this stage to go, in trying to raise the funds for this operation and are hopeful that the awareness about this disease is also coming out into the community, as it is a very rare disease to become symptomatic. Only approx 1% of the population will ever become symptomatic Tarlov Cysts that is how rare it is. Hope everyone has a wonderful week and if you could pass the word around and maybe share my page I would so appreciate the help......Debbie :-)
