This is Anthony Bustillos he is a registered nurse at Midland Memorial Hospital, he is one of the kindest people I know and is a loving and caring husband, father, friend, and nurse! Here is Anthony’s story.
“For those who don’t know, I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2014, I immediately had the Whipple procedure and went through chemo and radiation therapy for the entirety of 2015. I am God’s miracle to have survived pancreatic cancer, which at the time was 5%. I went on to being a husband, a father, a nurse and a friend. Five years later the fight is on again-the cancer had spread to my right lung. We were going back and forth to MD Anderson in Houston, TX. We found a doctor that said because it was slow growing and isolated to 4 spots, he could remove all the cancer seen on imaging by removing 25% of my right lung. I was scheduled for a partial lobectomy on June 7, and took 2-3 weeks for recovery. The surgery went well, after I returned home I was experiencing a lot of pain and went back to MD Anderson on August 21st for a follow up. At this appointment they found fluid on my lung and took me for a thoracentesis and removed 1000 liters of fluid. The next day the doctors informed me my lung was still collapsed and needed to have a thoracotomy and decortication and possible pleuralectomy. Once the surgeon opened he stated he “found a carpet of cancer located on the pleural lining on my lung and ribs”. It was so thick and hard it was preventing my lung from expanding and ribs from expanding. He had to remove a rib to get as much of the cancer as he could and was only able to get 50%. He is recommending chemo and radiation, I will go back to Md Anderson in Houston on the 18th of September to begin chemo and radiation. I am a fighter because, through Jesus Christ I can do all things. By speaking and believing I am healed, with faith the size of a mustard seed, we can move mountains! With the combined prayer of all my friends and family, God is with us and the devil is defeated!!”
