Hi! My name is Juan Pablo Jabre and I was born in Canada,but my parents and my brother came from Chile as an immigrants in 1988. I'm 27 years old and on december 23rd 2015 I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of melanoma(skin cancer). The cancer affected my mouth and lymph nodes, and I had to undergo a difficult surgery to remove the tumors in my my mouth, and to prevent the cancer spreading further. During the surgery, the doctors removed my palate(the roof of my mouth), my gums, and all of my top teeth. My family and I thought we won this tough battle that many have fought these days, but regrettably no. The cancer metastasized in my spinal column, but I am still fighting and still believing that this nightmare will end. I WANT TO LIVE!!!!! I am taking part in a new treatment called Immunotherapy, that will help me overcome this hard battle, which I am living through.
which many of you may be aware, mainly to pay for my top teeth that I lost, and also to pay for a trip to Cuba to search for an alternative cure. My family has been by my side all the time, and my mother has been the main one to take care of me during this process, furthermore she had to quit her job and the only source of income now is my dad. My family and I will be eternally grateful for any co-operation that you can give, this battle is not over, and there are so many things I want to do in my life!!!.....Pablo.
