Please help my nephew , Miguel Yu fight Cancer.
Donation protected
I have created this fundraiser for my nephew who is living in the Philippines and battling for Cancer.
My nephew, Miguel Joshua Yu was diagnosed with Neuroendocrine Cancer a few days before his 25th birthday. It was very sudden and we were all devastated. He is the 2nd child in the brood of five and I would say that among them, he was the fittest, the one that goes to the gym regularly, doesn’t smoke and only drinks occassionally. Migs loves basketball very much and it’s basically his life since he was a kid. He is not a 'whiner', doesn’t complain easily and has a high tolerance for pain since he was little. My sister will tell me that there were times whenever he comes home from work or at night that he would mention he’s having acid reflux or that his stomach hurts, things like that. But, he will just take some first aid medicine and then he will be ok afterwards.
Pandemic came and everyone needed to stay home. Few weeks before his birthday, he suddenly passed out and needed to be brought to the Emergency Room. My sister found out that he's been having dark stools sometimes which he disregards, thinking that it was just from what he probably ate. Series of labtests then followed, Endoscopy and Colonoscopy were done and Ctscan as well. It was there that the tumor was seen and it is malignant. We felt like our world has been shattered with that news.
Surgery was not an immediate option because there are also lymph nodes found in the liver, wherein the tumor was around the gastric area. Chemotherapy was advised by his Oncologist to immediately stop the bleeding because it’s causing his Hemoglobin to drop and several blood transfusions were also given.
Migs is on his 10th chemo cycle now and over a million was already spent. Chemotherapy worked for him, as the tumor was contained. After his PET CTSCAN, it showed that the tumor did not spread nor increased in size but it is still very active metabolically. We are truly very grateful to a lot of people who has been a blessing to him from day one, who offered prayers and provided monetary assistance.
We need help for this one treatment that was suggested to him. It is called Nuclear Treatment and it is very costly. It has a very high success and survival rate. This could be our chance to give my nephew the best possible treatment there is.
We would like to ask, if you can please consider donating for this cause and help my nephew and my sister’s family. They are going through a lot right now, not only financially but physically and emotionally. The money we can raise will help ease the financial burden from their shoulders so they can focus on helping Migs fight this battle. Please keep them in your prayers.
We are putting our faith not only in God but in the goodness that still reigns in each one of us. Please spare them some love.
Anything you are willing to donate will be graciously accepted. Thanking you in advance for your support. Your generosity will be remembered.
May God bless your kind heart.
If you wouldn’t mind, please help us share our story to anyone you know so we can reach out to as many people as possible.
