It was only 3 years ago when we were faced with this devastating disease, and today we are here to try and help heal Our Dad, Paul Galope.
Paul has been living in the Philippines since 1994, re married and raising Our siblings.
The last time Our Dad was in the US and here with us was back in 2004, just a little over 14 years.
We have always remained close to Our Dad even clear across the world.
Recently, just before Christmas, Paul was given the news of his biopsy results of Adenocarcinoma of the rectum and H. Pylori (stomach bacteria).
He is currently on treatment to eradicate this stomach bacteria, and currently with some improvement.
Soon after, he had a CT scan performed, that although it doesn’t appear that this cancer is metastatic (invaded vital organs or lymph nodes), it did confirm that this tumor is just under 9 cm.
Then this past Monday, he consulted with an Oncologist, and was told that due to the size of the tumor and lymph nodes clearly surrounding, that Our Dad may have Stage 3 rectal cancer and may need to proceed in the proper protocol to remove the tumor and undergo chemo/radiation treatment, and have a transverse colostomy in place.
As we clearly understand living in another country, medical treatment are different, and medical care isn’t ran by insurance.
The Philippines require the patient to pay for any or all medical treatment up front.
Our Dad’s source of income, only covers his monthly bills, education, and routine medical expenses.
Now with new medical expenses that will be compiled after the future procedures ahead, we feel that this will financially become a huge burden.
We ask all Family and Amazing friends in Our lives, that you help us reach Our goal to help Heal Paul.
No amount is too small.
Please Pray for Our Dad Paul, my siblings and I, and the Grandchildren during this time.
Love and Blessings ♥️
