Tito's Lymphoma Medical Expenses
Donation protected
Dear GoFundMe Community and Friends of the Pascoal Family,
As some of you may know, 2018 has been a rough year for our friend Tito Pascoal and his family.
After multiple emergency room visits and inconclusive tests in February and March of this year, Tito was admitted into Brigham and Women's Hospital on April 5th, 2018. What started off as unusual headaches along with intense pain in the knees, hip, and shoulder turned out to be an aggressive Stage 4 Lymphoma.
For those of you who don’t know Tito, he is a young aspiring musician completing his last semester at Berklee College of Music in Boston MA. What you don’t see on paper is his amazing upbeat attitude, which he brings with him everywhere he goes.
After several rounds of intensive chemotherapy in May and June followed by pneumonia and an emergency appendicitis surgery by God’s grace, he was able to fight through and move into remission by mid July.
Unfortunately, less than 2 months later, the lymphoma returned in the brain, in September 2018. Again, Tito had intensive headaches and double vision so an emergency cranial surgery was needed to remove the part tumor that was more accessible to alleviate the pain and pressure. Tito continues to receive chemo twice a week, injected directly to the brain via an ommaya reservoir, his doctors have suggested a new and very expensive treatment, which so far has shown a lot of promise this should happen mid January 2019.
Tito and his family are doing everything they can to fight this terrible condition your prayers and support is so appreciated.
