Robert Pollon's Leukemia Treatments

Robert Pollon, known to most as Pat (my Papa), is a family man with a huge heart. On October 24th Pat was diagnosed with Acute myeloid leukemia (a fast moving form of leukemia) after rigorous testing. Then finding out this heartbreaking news the family was determined it would be treatable. A specialist preformed a bone marrow test which was then sent to an Oncologist in Prince George and Vancouver. Pat and Brenda (Pat's wife), were told on October 27th that this form was not treatable by the doctor. The tests determined it was terminal and deamed untreatable. Pat was given three to six months to live. Within the first month of knowing his white blood cells decreased tremendously which left his immune system depleted, leaving him highly vulnerable to infections. He started using natural immunity boosters which on his next blood tests appeared to sustain his white blood cell count. Pat and Brenda were informed of the CIPAG Clinic and of Dr. Castillo in Tijuana Mexico. Following up on this clinic via web, they began emailing back and forth with the clinic. They decided to follow through. Within a week (shortly before christmas) after emails and phone calls they set a cosultation date for January 3rd 2017. The family found comfort and hope with this decision. What a great Christmas gift! On January 1st 2017 they flew out of Grande Prairie AB with great anticipation on their way to Tijuana. January 3rd 2017: After meeting with the doctor for two hours they immediatley started treatment and accepted him into their 25 day program.  
We will continue to post further updates !

Sincerly, Adrianna Anderson (Grandaughter)
