Colon cancer story

September 26th, 2006

Hello, my name is Cherrylyn and I have a cancer story.

I am the 7 of 11 siblings in the family. My father, Rodolfo is now 67 years old. Four days ago, my niece rushed her to the hospital and he was diagnosed with Dengue fever, stage 2. Dengue fever is up to stage 3 so he is very close to death. Good thing, he survived from that one. I am very thankful for the doctor in Baguio Medical Center for providing him an excellent medical attention. After a few days, my sister sent me a text message saying that my father has a Colon Cancer. He was given up to six months to live and a surgery will prolong his life for only another up to a year. The cancer already covered up to 2cms of his colon and is groving rapidly. If his bowel movement goes abnormal then he will die right away. There’s an option, though - a surgery to insert a tube straw which is called colonic stent.

My father cried when he found out that he is dying of cancer but happy because he is saved by God through Jesus Christ by accepting him as his personal savior. He think that he’s ready for this since he already finish his obligation with us by bringing us up to be a good person and a blessing to everybody.

I just hope and pray that my father will not suffer a lot before he goes away. Father, for all that you did, I love you and you will be missed. We will see you in heaven.

Cherrylyn
