Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) Ko te taiohi 17-tau-tau e noho ana i te Connecticut Children's Medical Center mai i te marama o Tihema i te wa e whakawhiwhia ana ki te chemotherapy hei whakaora i te lymphoma o Hodgkin kua oti te maimoatanga me te wehe atu i te hohipera i te Mane, e ai ki tana roia, a Josh Michtom. I whakahaua a Cassandra C., e ai ki nga tuhinga a te kooti, kia tiakina e te Tari Connecticut mo nga Tamariki me nga Whanau e tetahi kaiwhakawa i te marama o Tihema. I oma ia i roto i te kaha ki te whakamutu i te chemotherapy, e kii ana kaore ia e hiahia ki te maimoatanga. I te tīmatanga o tēnei marama, i pūrongotia e CNN kei te whakaheke ia, kei te pai tana āhua, ā, kua tata oti tana maimoatanga. I kitea a Cassandra he mate lymphoma Hodgkin i te marama o Hepetema, ā, i hoatu e ngā tākuta ki a ia he 85% te tūponotanga ki te ora, ki te whakahaeretia ia, engari i mea ia ka mate ia i roto i ngā tau e rua, ki te kore e whakahaeretia. I tīmata ia i te maimoatanga i Whiringa-a-rangi, engari i rere ia i muri i nga ra e rua, e ai ki nga tuhinga a te kooti, i tana whakatau kaore ia e hiahia ki te whakauru i te paitini o te maimoatanga ki roto i tona tinana. I taua wā i whakahaua ai e te kaiwhakawa kia nohoia ia e te kāwanatanga. Kua whakamatau nga roia mo te taiohi me tona whaea ki te tono, engari kaore i angitu. I noho tonu a Cassandra ki te hōhipera. I roto i te mahi ture tata nei, i whakakahoretia e te kaiwhakawa te tono a te roia a Cassandra kia tukua ia kia hoki ki te kāinga i runga i te take e kore e taea e ia te whara. Na, kua oti tana maimoatanga, ka mutu te ota tiaki mo te wa poto, i kii a Michtom ki a CNN. I mua ake nei i kii ia ko te hohipera "he whare herehere whai hua" ki tana kaihoko. "Ka rite ki ta maatau mo nga tuuroro katoa e tiaki ana matou i Connecticut Children's, e hiahia ana matou ki a ia mo te pai mo te wa kei te heke mai me te hauora", ko Robert Fraleigh, kaiwhakahaere o nga korero umanga mo te Connecticut Children's Medical Center, i korero i te Mane. Ko Joette Katz, te kaitohutohu o te Connecticut Department of Children and Families, i kī i roto i tētahi tauākī e harikoa ana rātau kei te hauora a Cassandra, ā, kua ora. E whakamoemiti ana ia ki nga taote o te Children's Medical Center me nga kaimahi o tana tari mo tenei mutunga pai. E whakaae ana...
Kua whakaaetia te taiohi kia hoki ki te kāinga ināianei kua oti tana rongoā matū. I kitea a 'Cassandra' he mate lymphoma a Hodgkin i te marama o Hepetema. I puritia ā-wāhi a Teen e te Tari o Connecticut mō ngā Tamariki me ngā Whanau.
