Let’s help Dr. Belfort Edgard With his Fight against cancer.

Dear family and friends,

My name is Edgard Belfort, I am 73 years old and I live in Caracas Venezuela.

I am a psychiatrist who has arduously worked and helped for many years patients in the public and the private sector, who has being recognized nationally and internationally as an honorary member of the medical faculty for my advocacy for mental health. Now I need your help.

At the end of August, I started having motor issues and feeling disoriented so I visited my primary Doctor who prescribed an MRI and a CT scan, the Doctor said it was very clear that a cancerous brain tumor was rapidly growing located in my parieto-occipital lobe. 

The Recommended treatment included surgery that was done September 13, 2022, they also performed a biopsy and days later we were informed that the cancer was very aggressive. Diagnosis was a primary tumor; Glioblastoma

Right after surgery I had many complications which have made necessary the purchase of medicine to treat Seizures, steroids for the edemas, anticoagulant for a Trombosis, Physical therapy and ICU costs.

We need to start Radiation and Chemotherapy as soon as possible, additional medicine is also required,  physical therapy and possible admission to ICU and others expenses which all are very  costly .

Due to Extremely economic hardship currently Affecting all Venezuelans I need your help to focus in my fully recovery, any donation, contributions or prayers are extremely appreciated and I will forever be grateful.

I send unconditional love to all of you in the name of my wife Xarifa, my family and friends who have being supporting me physically and spiritually.

God bless you all.

Edgard.

APOYEMOS AL DR. BELFORT GARBÁN EDGARD JOSE PARA SU TRATAMIENTO CONTRA EL CANCER.

Queridos amigos,

Mi nombre es Edgard Belfort Tengo 73 años, vivo en Caracas Venezuela y soy Médico Psiquiatra, con trayectoria pública, privada y docente, tanto a nivel Nacional como Internacional y recientemente, miembro honorario de la Academia de Medicina por
mi aporte a la salud mental.

A finales de agosto, no me sentía bien. Tenía incoordinación motora y confusión mental, por lo que acudí al médico quien me indicó una Tomografía y Resonancia Magnética, las cuales hicieron visible un tumor cerebral.

La indicación fue una intervención quirúrgica  denominada Craneotomía con Exerisis Tumoral y biopsia. La intervención se realizó el 13/09/2022  sin embargo el resultado de la biopsia no fue nada alentador ya que el tumor resultó ser uno de los más agresivos. Diagnóstico: Glioblastoma multiforme primario.

Desde entonces he tenido muchas complicaciones y me indican de inmediato Quimioterapia Oral y Radioterapia, en el CMC donde estoy hospitalizado y donde se encuentran mis Colegas y médicos tratantes.

Además del costo de la Radioterapia, quimioterapia y hospitalización, se requieren recursos para medicamentos adicionales, terapias de recuperación, entre otros gastos medicos complementarios, por lo que acudimos a todos ustedes para que nos ayuden en este proceso.

Cualquier donación ayudará y es muy apreciada. Muchas gracias. Les envío amor incondicional a todos ustedes en nombre de mi esposa Xarifa, mis familiares y mi 'equipo' de amigos, que nos están apoyando física, espiritual y emocionalmente.

Dios los bendiga a todos.

Edgard.
