Back in October last year, our 13 year old daughter Frankie was diagnosed with mosaic Turner Syndrome. This was discovered due to questioning her growth and delayed onset of puberty.

This diagnosis was made at the tail end of Mum Bonnie's breast cancer treatment, which had already had a significant impact on our family.

Turner Syndrome is a random genetic disorder that affects women.

Usually, a woman has two X chromosomes. However, in women with Turner syndrome, one of these chromosomes is absent or abnormal.

Turner Syndrome can affect growth, puberty and fertility.

Frankie's treatment involves growth hormone, surgery and later on, hormone therapy treatment. She is under the care of a specialised endocrinologist at the Sydney Children's Hospital.

There are significant costs involved including medication, specialist appointments and travel expenses, among others.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
