Dear fellow members
As you may or may not have heard one of our members children (Rafel Stytzen) Peter has been suffering with brain tumours since birth, after undergoing several failed attempts throughout his short 9 years of life the prognosis finally came that Peter had just 6 weeks to live, as the tumour had grown back again more aggressive than ever & it was too close to the nerves that control his vision, hearing & speech to name a few. The medical team at Monash we're not specialised enough to consider operating any further.
In desperation after learning of a new treatment being done in China with great results (SPDT) sonar vibrations to put it simply, Rafel & Yolla embarked on taking Peter there for 3 months intensive treatment, amazingly the tumour shrank from 4 centimetres to just 6 millimetres unfortunately the root of the tumour remained.
Prof Charles Teo the world famous Sydney neurosurgeon heard of the Chinese result & contacted Rafel & Yolla & invited them to Sydney for a consultation, after looking at the scans that had been done a few days prior showing the tumour was once again growing, Peter was operated on the following day, & amazingly Peter was out playing his beloved soccer with the local juniors just 10 days later. Prof Teo is very confident that he removed all of the tumour & that Peter can go forward now to leading a healthy & rewarding life, & who knows he may go on to score the winning goal for Australia against his fathers beloved Poland in the 2030 soccer world cup.
As you will be aware this journey has not been cheap, $230,000.00 has been spent, putting great financial stress on the family, not to mention the emotional strain they have been under. If we as a group can rally around to assist in whatever way we can by donating & or purchasing a pigeon or two, or even a hamburger or three, please tell you're friends & turn up for what promises to be a great day.
