Diego going through the Cancer type ALL

Hi,

Diego was starting getting very sick around October 2020, starting having high fevers, pain on his head, eating less, and not playing anymore, also did stop walking, it was painful for him to walk.We took him to gp one time and was when we was sent straight to Warwickshire hospital, after long days, stays in, putting needles on Diego for blood test's and no one did know what he had! They sent us to Coventry hospital for more exams, multiple times going to try to do aMRI as we didn't got any results because Diego was to scared and refuse to do it . After multiple doctors come and check on him, they said Diego had arthritis on his left hip,so he did a surgery for take some of the liquid for results, but in the end it wasn't that. And the doctors left us with no answer and send us home for recovering from surgery. One week after send us again for check up and said Diego need bloods done. On that same day we did received a call saying we need to go straight to the hospital. More bloods done. And it was when on next day we got informed of Diego had cancer, and we will be sent to Birmingham hospital to really check his bone marrow, and came back the results of leukaemia ALL. Diego did respond well to treatment, got in maintenance for long time almost 3years, he was going to finish is treatment in middle of 2024!

But in May of this year 2023 Diego was diagnosed with relapse from the illness this time did afect his testicle right one, he had to do another operation which was a very hard to decided to do it or not! Diego was handed a new plan with stronger medication, the doctors said it will be hard for him! But Diego smashed it the first cycle and other cycle with a stronger medication, his results from bone marrow came has the doctors expected! But now the hard part for him will come!

Diego will have to do irradiation on his total body and a boost his testicle left. He will be submitted to a stem cell transplant afterwards. Diego it will be experiencing side effects from irradiation, from the transplant himself. Diego after the transplant when he will be sent home diego will have to stay 12 /18 monts at home with no visitors because is immune system will be low, all injections he took has a baby he will have to get them again! It is hard times for us a family, we are praying for Diego, we hope we are making the right decision for him to survive this illness, and this severe treatments! The fundraising is been done for be used for family expenses, car parks, food on hospital's, Diego birthday presents, and things he need. We appreciate any kind of help or messages!
