Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) Ko tētahi taiohi o Connecticut i kaha ki te whai i te rongoā matū hei whakaora i te lymphoma Hodgkin ka noho tonu ki te mana whakahaere o te kawanatanga mo te wa poto, e ai ki tana roia, a Josh Michtom. I tukuna e te kaiwhakawa o te kōti rangatahi o Connecticut tētahi whakatau ā-tuhi i te Wenerei e whakakahore ana i tētahi tono kia tukua te taiohi, i tāutuhia i roto i ngā tuhinga a te kōti hei "Cassandra C"., kia haere ki te kāinga. I whakakahoretia hoki e te kaiwhakawa he tono mo te haerenga. Ko te 17-tau te pakeke kei te whakahekenga i muri i te tata ki te ono marama o te maimoatanga chemotherapy. I te Poutu-te-rangi 16, i ngana a Michtom ki te whakamatau i te kooti kia taea e ia te hoki ki te kaainga o tona whaea na te mea kaore ia i te raru o te kino mai i tona mate. I tukuna e Michtom me te roia a Michael Taylor, e tohu ana i te whaea o Cassandra, a Jackie Fortin, he korero i tuhia i muri i te whiwhinga o te kaiwhakawa i te Wenerei: "Kei te pouri matou ki tenei whakatau, kaore i te iti rawa na te mea ka puta mai he whakatau pono e tino paahitia ana e te taumaha o nga taunakitanga. Kei te kōrero mātou me ō mātou kiritaki ināianei mō ngā kaupae e whai ake nei, tae atu ki te whai i tētahi atu kerēme". I kitea a Cassandra he mate lymphoma Hodgkin i te marama o Hepetema, ā, i whakaarohia e ngā tohunga hauora he 85% pea te tūponotanga kia ora ia mēnā ka whakahaeretia ki te rongoā matū. Ki te kore, i kii nga taote i taua wa, ka mate pea ia i roto i nga tau e rua. I tīmata ia ki te chemotherapy i Whiringa-a-rangi engari i rere atu 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 te marama o Tihema, i whakahaua e te kaiwhakawa kia waiho te wahine taitama ki raro i te mana o te Connecticut Department of Children and Families. I taua wa, i uru ia ki te Connecticut Children's Medical Center i Hartford a kua noho ia ki reira mai i taua wa. I whakanohoia e nga taote he pū ki te uma o Cassandra hei whakawhiwhi i nga rongoā chemotherapy, i timata ahakoa nga mahi ture ki te whakamutu i a raatau. Kei te pai te āhua o Cassandra, ā, e ai ki a Michtom, he pai te āhua o tōna hauora. "Kua kitea e ia i roto i tana take kaore i kino nga paanga o te taha, a...
E kore te kaiwhakawa e whakaae kia wehe atu te taiohi i te hōhipera i mua i tana maimoatanga rongoa matū whakamutunga. Kei te whakatau ngā roia mō te taiohi mēnā ka tono kerēme rānei. Kei te ora a Cassandra C. ināianei, ā, kāore anō ia kia whakahawea ki ngā maimoatanga kemotherapy.
