Dad's fight against cancer

My dad, Jaime, has always been a fighter. He's faught several battles in his life and came out victorious. Last year, he was diagnosed with Stage 4 Hypopharyngeal Cancer and bravely finished all his chemotherapies and radiation therapies. The tumor shrunk and he came out of it with a cheerful heart. But the fight isn't over.


Not more than a month ago, our next door neighbor's house caught on fire. The fire not only alarmed our family, but the heavy fume caused my dad's already weak and recovering body, serious complications. Now, that same cheerful heart that kept him going is failing him. What's worse, his tumor is growing again.

Despite multiple organ complications and a growing tumor, my dad is still fighting the good fight and is not willing to give up. The doctors are being careful what to treat first, because all his major organs are hanging by a thread. Last night, he just underwent an angioplasty and like the many times before, despite being sedated, he gave a smile right after. But now we are still looking at more operations to be done.


Our family is reaching out to everyone for prayer and financial support for my dad's continuous fight. Our dad's always been our family's stronghold. Now, we are leaning on everyone's help to get through this fight. We don't want financial burden to hinder our dad from fighting.

My mom, sister, and I, are greatful for any amount of help we'll receive through this. And it's always been a custom in our family to pay everything forward. From the deepest of our hearts, we thank you and may you be blessed by blessing others.
