Latest Update:

My mom got her biopsy results back and sadly she is diagoned with a rare form of pancreatic cancer called pancreatic spindle cell neoplasm. She is also suffering from anemia which was discovered after the initial tests done to her when she first got confined.

The doctor advised her to undergo an operation to remove the cyst, and possibly her pancreas, that has now grown to a size of 6 centimeters. We are now in search for a Hepatobiliary Surgeon in the Philippines to start the operation right away.

Listed below are the procedures and test were done on my mother:

CT scan with contrast

CT Guided Core Biopsy

Aerobic Culture

Gram Straining

Acid-fast Bacili (AFB) Smear

IHC Staining

Ultrasound

2D Echo with Doppler

Iron Sucrose Transfusion

Our family is asking for your help through donations and prayers as we are still recovering financially from the previous operations and procedures that my mom has undergone. You can find the story below on what initially happened to my mom that has led me to create this gofundme to help her.

-----------------------------------------

Hi, my name is Kevin, I am currently here in Netherlands and I am raising this gofundme for my Mom back in the Philippines. She has been hospitalized for a week now because of issues with her blood. Her initial hemoglobin count was 52 g/L and she has already undergone blood transfusion to hopefully improve her condition.

Listed below are some of the tests that she has already finished:

CT Scan

Jak2 Mutation Test

Folic Test

Vitamin B12 Test

She will also undergo a biopsy test and will also the help of an interventional radiologist this coming week. Further details will be added in this gofundme as they come.

I am reaching out to your kind hearts to ask support for my mother, Jeva Cuevas, who lives in the Philippines. As her children, me and my siblings are doing everything we can to support her but all our salaries combined can barely cover the expenses that are starting to pile up and overwhelm us as well. I just started working earlier this year and I cannot contribute that much yet. We were also told to prepare for the worst in terms of diagnosis so we also need your prayers and your well wishes.

How the Funds Will Reach My Mother:

Since GoFundMe does not directly send money to the Philippines, I will withdraw the funds to my bank account here in the Netherlands and transfer of it to my sister via Taptap Send or Bank Transfer so she can take care of the bills to be paid

Every Donation Helps!

Any amount, big or small, will make a difference in my mother’s life. Even if you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser with your network would mean the world to me. Also, we ask for your prayers for my mother's speedy recovery.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and support.
