Isaac Montalvo's fight with brain cancer

On June 2, 2019 Isaac Montalvo's life changed forever.  Isaac and his wife Celine were washing their cars when the trunk lid accidentally hit him hard on his head.  Isaac brushed it off, but little did he know is that trunk lid probably saved his life.  After a few hours his condition worsened. He felt dizzy and fell to the ground complaining of pain in his head.  Celine immediately called 911 and Isaac was transported to Del Sol Medical Center in El Paso, TX.  Once at the hospital, the doctors ran their first CT scan and showed internal bleeding in the brain.  An MRI was also done and it revealed a tumor the size of a lime.  The neurosurgeons decided on surgery on June 4, 2019 to remove the tumor.  

The operation took two and a half hours and could only remove 90 percent due to the last 10 percent on a main artery.  The biopsy of the tumor showed meningioma cells which the doctors said could be treated with radiation.  However on June 16, 2019 the oncologist found cancer cells that are aggressive and shows that is not meningioma cells.  It will take three weeks to know exactly what type of cancer and what stage it has progressed.  Isaac will need treatment in Phoenix, AZ or MD Anderson in Houston.

Isaac works in construction and lives paycheck to paycheck.  He has two children ages 1 and 6.   He does not have medical insurance and the doctors say it will be at least a year or more for him to recover.  Isaac and his family have no other income now that he is 100 percent disabled and desperately needs help to pay rent and medical bills.
