My name is Peter Claffey , I spend a lot of time here in Costambar .Puerta Plata ,DR, with my long term Domincan girlfriend. My ladyfriend has a 15 yr old daughter, who is beautiful inside and out , loves school and is very serious in her studies ,her name is Anaise, a little girl to whom I am very attatched emotionally.Anaise was recently diagnosed as having Osteosarcoma. this is a very aggressive form of cancer.Anaise has been advised by the doctor in Santiago and a second dotor in Puero Plata to have her right leg amputised and undergo chemo therapy, as any one who is a parent will understand has caused great distress here, I have looked at the chances of getting her into St .Jude Memphiss , where they may have been able to remove the section of tibia affected an d do a bone graft , but they sat at this time they are unable to accomadate.I live a lot of time here and have private insurance for myself and my partner , but stupidly I did not have it for Anaise.My pledge is to continue doing whatever i can for Anaise, i live on my disability allowance from the U.k and as such i have a limited income , I am willing to spend my last peso for this child I am looking and begging for any advice , financially , emotionanly , any medical advice, support through prayer, absolutely anything .At the present time Anaise is having herbal treatment , Anaise and her mum , are clutching at the hope that this will save her , but i worry that after what the other 2 doctors advised about immediate amputation the tumour will be growing with a greater chance of spreading to other parts of her body.Please if any body can advise or help Iwould be eternally grateful , I can assure everybody that this is a genuine appeal , I am not sure how this forum operates , but I can assure everybody that I will willingly give more information etc , or communicate be e_mail , my address being peteclaffey@aol.com. Thanks in anticipation
