Stockholm girl seeks Stockholm radiation cure for brain AV malformation
Becky Taylor, a Cedar Rapids third grader, faces a deep brain arteriovenous malformation that is inoperable. Doctors in Stockholm at Karolinska recommend a high dose gamma ray treatment to shrink the vessels, with costs around five thousand dollars plus two weeks’ travel. Family sources plan insurance, Shrine funding, and community aid to cover expenses. Becky looks forward to Swedish trip and is determined to continue therapy and activities like swimming and sledding while awaiting treatment.
