Luchemos con Albert Cruz
Donation protected
Esta cuenta se ha abierto con el proposito de apoyar una gran causa. Albert Cruz Jr. es un joven de 28 a~os de edad. Durante su juventud se dedico al boxeo y hizo a su comunidad de Canovanas, Puerto Rico muy orgullosa por todos sus triunfos. Por cosas de la vida Albert se mudo a los Estados Unidos con su esposa Katherine quienes ahora llevan 10 a~os de una relacion digna de admirar. Hace un poco mas de un a~o Albert noto que tenia unas masas en su cuello. El doctor que lo atendio le dijo que solo eran bolitas de grasa y que no requerian de ningun tratamiento especial. Al pasar el tiempo estas masas seguian creciendo. Recientemente Albert decidio tener la opinion de otro doctor el cual hizo todas las pruebas necesarias. En Agosto 21 del 2016 recibieron la noticia de que estas masas eran cancerosas. Ayer (Septiembre 13) recibieron la noticia de que este cancer esta en su etapa 4 y se a corrido hacia sus huesos un tipo de cancer llamado Linfoma hodgkin. Albert estara comenzando el proceso de Quimioterapia en unas semanas. Albert y Kathy han tenido un gran anhelo desde hace mucho tiempo, este anhelo a sido el de ser padres. "La quimioterapia (quimio) funciona al eliminar las células en el cuerpo que se dividen rápidamente. Dado que los espermatozoides se dividen rápidamente, constituyen un blanco fácil para el daño causado por la quimioterapia. La infertilidad permanente puede surgir si todas las células madre espermatogoniales (las células inmaduras en los testículos que se dividen para producir nuevos espermatozoides) se dañan al punto que ya no pueden producir espermatozoides maduros." (cancer.org) Una manera de preservar la fertilidad es congelar espermatozoides antes de comenzar el tratamiento. Este procedimiento es bastante costozo. Su esposa es la unica trabajando actualmente en el hogar. Tenemos fe de que Albert saldra victorioso de este tratamiento y que en un futuro su anhelo de ser padres sera realizado. Se que ellos se sentiran mas que agradecidos al recibir una donacion de su parte para que este procedimiento pueda llevarse a cabo. La cita para este procedimiento es este viernes ya que los tratamientos deben comenzar lo mas pronto posible. De parte de Albert y Kathy les agradecemos grandmente y deseamos que Dios les multiplique su donacion en bendiciones para usted y los suyos.

This account has been opened for the purpose of supporting a great cause. Albert Cruz Jr. is a 28 years old young man. During his youth he devoted himself to boxing and made his community of Canovanas, Puerto Rico very proud of all his triumphs. Albert and his wife Katherine, who have been together for 10 years, moved to the U.S. A little more than one year ago Albert had noticed that he had masses on his neck area. The doctor who examined him told him they were just balls of fat and that did not require any special treatment. Over a period of time these masses continued to grow. Albert recently decided to have the opinion of another doctor who made all the necessary testing and examinations. On August 21, 2016 he received the news that these masses were cancerous. Yesterday (September 13) received the news that the cancer is in stage 4 and has spread to their bones, a type of cancer called Lymphoma
Hodgkin. Albert will be beginning the process of chemotherapy in a few weeks. Albert and Kathy have had a great longing for a long time, this was the desire to be parents. "Chemotherapy (chemo) works by removing cells in the body that divide rapidly. Since sperm are rapidly dividing, are an easy target for the damage caused by chemotherapy. The permanent infertility may arise if all spermatogonial stem cells (immature cells in the testicles that divide to produce new sperm) are damaged to the point they can no longer produce mature sperm. " (Cancer.org) One way to preserve fertility is to freeze sperm before starting treatment. This procedure is quite expensive. His wife is the only one currently working at home. We have faith that Albert will emerge victorious from this treatment and that in the future their desire to be parents will be made. I know they will be more than grateful to receive a donation from you so this procedure can be completed. The appointment for this procedure is this Friday as treatments should start as soon as possible. In behalf of Kathy and Albert I thank you. May God multiply your donation in blessing to you and yours.
