Nadine is a 9 we girl who has bit-en under my care for a mysterious bone tumor involving her right femur. I am an Githepaedic Oncologist at Duke University who specializes in tumors of the bones and muscles. Nadine was sent to me fer surgery.r to biopsy and remove the tunior in her femur. Her diagnosis is a rare tamer known as eosinophilie granulema. I was notified that her father, Mesa Hamadeesa has been detained by Immigration of?cials. It is vital that Nadine be monitored for several more years, as this is a highly unusual turner. Eesinophilio granulema is commonly;r associated with ether and there can be multiple lesions. Mesa is the primary care giver for Nadine and her siblings, and the only person that can transport Nadine to Dulce for her imaging and care. If Nadine returns to the Middle East, lean assure you that she will not have access to an Orthopaedic Oncologist. On a personal note, i would mention that the Hamadeesa family are exactly the kind of people that we would want to immigrate to our country. Mesa is a very successful mechanic who works tirelessly to support his family. Mrs. Hamadeesa is a dedicated mother. The children are all bright, well-behaved, and speak excellent English. If I can provide any additional information about this wonderful little girl and her medical condition, please do not hesitate to contact me. My email address is and my phone number is 919.581.6932. Sincerely, William Eward DVM, MD Assistant Professor, Department of Orthopaedic Surgeryr Duke Cancer Institute
