If you were to ever ask me about my father, I would tell you that he has been an integral part to my life and that I can't imagine being who I am today if it were not for him. I'm talking about more than just raising me; I'm talking about someone who sat through a fad of pokémon with me, someone that loves to downhill skate as much as I do, and would never hesitate to help another person in the world. Being as humble as he is, you would never hear Jesse Inocencio ask any one for this sort of assistance, which is why I have taken it upon myself to reach out to any one that can help my father where he has felt at odds.
Having said this, I would have never known him to be in such poor health as he has been declared to be as of September 14th, 2015. As of 3:30 PM that day, my father was dignosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL), and every day since has been surreal and heavy on all of the hearts that care for this man.
ALL is a fast-acting leukemia that replaces healthy cells that produce functional lymphocytes with leaukemia cells; these leukemia cells accumulate in bone marrow and procede to spread throughout the body while reducing red blood cell and white blood cell counts. As ALL progresses, it will make it more difficult to fight infection, leaving one vulnerable to any sort of pathogen.
My father has had several weeks of being hospitalized where he has been undergoing chemotherapy and he has received several blood transfusions already. In spite of the situation, he has been handling treatment well and continues improving each day; he even has a match for bone marrow donation. As things look more optimistic as far as treatment is concerned, it does not come without cost.
I'll be honest, I don't know what to expect for the costs for his admission to the hospital in addition to 29+ day treatment; I just know that this is something that will not come without financial burden.
I say this because it is only the first leg of his recovery process. Once finished with the first two (possibly more) cycles of chemotherapy, he will need to receive additional treatment from Stanford, which is, at best, a 3-month process. Our family will remain by his side through the process, which includes procuring some level of housing while he endures treatment. After this cycle of chemotherapy, he will be able to receive bone marrow from his brother. At the end of all of this, we hope that he will be free of leukemia cells and that his condition will be in total remission.
This is an arduous process and will be something we are all going to help my father get through, one way or the next. Of the expected trials, I am certain many unexpected issues will surface along the way.
I have never been good at asking for help myself, but dire situations call for immediate action, which is why I am asking for anything to help my dad.
If I could put into words how much my dad means to me, this account would be that. Similarly, if i could vocalize my unending gratitude for even listening to what my family is going through right now, I would do so for asking such an immense favor.
All things said, I cannot wait to see my dad get through this, and thank you to the end of time for your understanding.
