Young mum faced with stem cell transplant delays worried about survival

A young mum facing life threatening delays for cancer treatment may be forced to raise more than a million dollars for a stem cell transplant overseas. Loran Geddes, who is 29, was diagnosed with Leukaemia last year and needs a stem cell transplant for any chance of a cure. But a lengthy waitlist means her treatment keeps getting pushed out, significantly impacting her chance of survival. What was at first a six month wait, is now nine months. She's now in remission and must stay this way to get the transplant that is still six months off, leaving her in a dangerous limbo. Loran Geddes spoke to Lisa Owen.
