Help Fernando Battle Aggressive Brain Cancer

Letter written by my cousins, asking for help for their father, my uncle....

Dear friends,

Our father, Fernando Chamochumbi Cabanillas, was diagnosed with brain cancer a little over a month ago, a few days after we all moved to live in Madrid.

Despite having private insurance with Sanitas, we had to wait several days for approval for the surgery, since we were completely in need. Finally, he had surgery on August 19 and the doctors are asking us to start chemotherapy and radiation as soon as possible, since the type of cancer our dad has is the most aggressive of all (Glioblastoma).

Unfortunately, Sanitas does not give us the consent to start both treatments and the neurosurgeon says that it is vital to start now, because his life is in danger, since the tumor can quickly grow again.

That is why we ask you, if it is within your means, to provide us with your financial support for the treatments that our father needs. Even if you think that what you can give is little, it is already a great help to us.

What we, his children, want most is to continue enjoying life with our dad, to continue accompanying us in each of the stages of our life and to see him strong and vital, like when we were children.

We also ask you to help us by praying for his speedy recovery.

Thanks in advance for your help,

His family.

Queridos amigos,

Nuestro papá, Fernando Chamochumbi Cabanillas, ha sido diagnosticado con cáncer al cerebro hace poco más de un mes, a los pocos días de habernos mudado todos a vivir a Madrid.

A pesar de contar con un seguro privado con Sanitas, tuvimos que esperar varios días, para la aprobación para la cirugía, ya que nos encontramos en plena carencia. Finalmente, lo operaron el 19 de agosto y los médicos nos están pidiendo empezar la quimioterapia y la radioterapia, lo más pronto posible, ya que el tipo de cancer que tiene nuestro papá, es el mas agresivo de todos (Glioblastoma).

Lamentablemente, Sanitas no nos da la conformidad, para que inicie con ambos tratamientos y el neurocirujano dice que es vital iniciar ya, porque peligra su vida, ya que el tumor rápidamente puede volver a crecer.

Es por eso, que les pedimos, si está dentro de sus posibilidades, nos brinden su apoyo económico para los tratamientos que nuestro papá necesita. Así crean que lo que puedan dar es poco, para nosotros ya hace una gran ayuda.

Lo que más queremos nosotros sus hijos, es seguir disfrutando con nuestro papá, que nos siga acompañando en cada una de las etapas de nuestra vida y verlo fuerte y vital, como cuando eramos niños.

Les pedimos también, nos ayuden rezando por su pronta recuperación.

Gracias de antemano por su ayuda,

Su familia.
