<div>My name is Haruka Kikuchi, I am a Trombone player and full time musician in New Orleans, LA since 2014.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>NOW, my husband, Yoshitaka "Z2" Tsuji, is also a full time piano player based in New Orleans, he's been hospitalized in Japan since last week.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He's had unknown stomach issue since this January, and lost 20 lbs. While he went to visit to his old parents in Japan after the New Orleans Jazz Fest (early May), then doctor found he has colon cancer and just took an emergency surgery on May 26th, removed 12 inches of his colon, including the tumor.
</div>
<div>Luckily not spread any other organ but he will need to take chemo soon, and we don't decide yet he will take these treatment in Japan or in New Orleans (and live with family here).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I add some situation about myself here,
</div>
<div>I've been dealing SSHL (Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss) since I woke up with heavy ear congestion and crazy veritgo on Halloween morning in 2024. Hearing aid does not work my case because I went almost completely deaf in my right ear. I can still work/play the music, but cannot talk with audience like when I used to do, simply I cannot hear your talking voice in any noisy public place, only quiet private space I can talk with people.
</div>
<div>Now I try EVERYTHING I can include some oriental therapy (like acupuncture/herbal medicine/moxibustion etc..), before I'll decide to get cochlear implant surgery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are not financially emergency situation for now, but since we both are live musicians (gig workers) so we'd appreciate any help you can, (and also want to share our current situation with our friends/fans, thank you!)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for reading this, hope everyone has a great day today!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Haruka
</div>
