Tumors in Remission
"The tumors are in remission and the radiation treatment appears to be working." This was the elated statement conveyed to Ka Wai Ola O OHA by Kitty Iwamoto following the medical eheekup Apr. 23 of Kealoha twins Jasmine and Crystalyn at the University of California Medical Center.
According to Mrs. Iwamoto, doctors reported no additional tumors advancing. The future vision of the twins, however, remain uncertain. Mrs. lwamoto reported that the twins are scheduled to return to the medical center in another six months for reexamination.
She also said the kokua fund for the twins has topped "a little over $37,000 and we are so grateful." Contributions may be made to Friends of Crystalyn and Jasmine, P.O. Box 90900, Honolulu, Hawaii %835. The one-year-old twins, daughters of Buzzy and Bonnie Kealoha of Hawaii Kai, were found to have bilateral retinoblastoma (eye cancer) during a routine eheekup last January.
