Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua tohe te matua i hopukina mō te whakamahi i te tarukino rongoā i runga i tana tamahine e rua tau te pakeke e mate nui ana, kia whakamanahia e te kāwanatanga te tarukino i te mea kei te heke haere tonu tōna hauora. I muri i te rongonga i nga korero pai mo nga painga o te whakamahi i te maimoatanga tautohetohe, i whakatau te tangata Cairns 32-tau-tau ki te hoatu hinu tarukino ki tana tamahine e whawhai ana ki tetahi momo mate pukupuku onge e kiia ana ko te neuroblastoma.
