Gold Coast girl’s seven year wait for lifesaving treatment

DESPITE the bright smile, 14-year-old Tori Bowd’s young life is on hold as she suffers a rare blood disorder and an agonising wait for lifesaving treatment.
Diagnosed with sideroblastic anemia at birth, Tori must have a blood transfusion every four to five weeks just to stay alive. 
A bone-marrow transplant is the teen’s only hope of a healthy life, but the wait for the right donor has stretched on for years.
“When she was seven we were told we would have a donor within six months. We have now been waiting for seven years,” said Tori’s mother, Tania Bowd.
