Claudio Roditi Needs Our Help
As many of you in the music community may already know, the great Brazilian trumpet master Claudio Roditi has been fighting the battle of his life. Last year he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and a tumor that was considered too dangerous to remove until it could be shrunk. To make matters worse, the cancer had metastasized into his lung and lymph nodes.
After receiving chemotherapy we were all encouraged when his numbers decreased and the tumor had shrunken some. Unfortunately this long battle started to cause additional problems and this week he was admitted to Memorial Sloan Kettering hospital in New York. His CAT scan detected the cancer growing again and he must now undergo more chemotherapy.
I am reaching out to our loving musical community for donations to help Claudio financially in his hour of need. He has not been able to work much during this terrible ordeal and his funds are nearly depleted.
Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated… and never forgotten.
Please keep Claudio in your prayers.

Dear friends from around the world,
I have started round 2 of my chemotherapy one week ago. We are using the same medicines
as last year, with the exception of the fact that I am taking my diet much more seriously this time around. What we eat gives us the fuel for our bodies and our well-being, but it also can fuel detrimental things in our system, so we need to be carefull with what we eat to ensure we are doing the best possible for our health.
I am a firm believer in Chinese medicine, therefore acupunture is a big part of my treatment, along with Western medicine treatment.
The first new song since my last update was completed a few days ago and ideas for the second one are popping up in my mind. I feel that playing the trumpet every day and composing are tools to enhance my treatment and to give me artistic fulfillment during this challenging time.
Once again, I would like to thank all of you for your contributions, for your kindness, love, friendship, and understanding. God bless you!
