After a multitude of exams and tests, her doctors confirmed that her condition was in fact a type of cancer called Hodkings Lymphoma. After another round of medical exams, my daughter began her treatment, which consisted of various chemotherapy sessions as well as radiotherapy.
Fortunately, a year later, in February 2018, we finally received positive news. The doctors told us that thanks to her treatment, the tumor had reduced in size and they had not found any more types of tumorous activity nor markers of bad health.
Our family could not believe this! We were overjoyed with the fact that our daughter would continue her life in spite of the bad times and will be able to thrive in the future. After this, we only had to take her to checkups every three months for the next 3 years. This resulted with her desease staying in remission. Sadly, the remission was not perminent and our joyful outlook for the future quickly vanished.
These are the only two options left to save my daughter's life. We know the next phase will be challenging.
That is why we are reaching out to you for support. We are asking you to help us raise the money we need in order to begin her treatment immediately. This is the only way we can reach our goal of keeping her safe and alive.
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for considering supporting our daughter and family during a time that will surely result in a long and difficult journey - one that we had hoped and prayed she would never have to go through.
Maria Paula Almeida tiene 20 años, hace 3 años, en marzo del 2017 se
le detectó un tumor madre ubicado en el mediastino, entre la vena cava
y el corazón; luego de varios exámenes y análisis, se confirmó nuestro
peor temor, que mi hija tenía un cáncer llamado Linfoma de Hodgkin.
Luego de las evaluaciones iniciales propias de esa enfermedad, mi hija
inició su tratamiento el cual consistió en quimioterapia y
radioterapia.
Un año después, en febrero de 2018, luego de los
controles de fin de tratamiento, recibimos una buena noticia por parte
de sus doctores; que el tumor se había reducido notablemente, que no
se detectó actividad del mismo ni marcadores tumorales; la alegría de
toda nuestra familia fue indescriptible cuando sus médicos le dieron
esta noticia a mi hija, quedando estipulado de su parte que se
deberían efectuar controles trimestrales durante los primeros tres
años, para pasar luego a una etapa de remisión definitiva de la
enfermedad.
3 años después de esa gratificante noticia, en julio
del 2020, al realizar sus exámenes de control, los médicos nos
informaron que el cáncer se había reactivado.
Ahora deberá
iniciar nuevamente con quimioterapia de segunda línea, que es mucho
más agresiva que la inicialmente recibida, para luego complementar el
tratamiento con un trasplante de médula, siendo estos procesos la
única alternativa que tenemos para salvar la vida de María Paula en
esta etapa de su enfermedad.
Es por esta razón de vida que
iniciamos esta campaña; necesitamos de su ayuda para poder recaudar
los fondos que ahora nos hacen falta para este nuevo tratamiento, para
que María Paula inicie el mismo de manera inmediata y de esa manera
estemos más cerca de salvar su vida.
Agradecemos la ayuda de
todos y cada uno de ustedes desde el fondo de nuestro corazón; solo
tenemos amor y gratitud para todos quienes tienen el deseo de
ayudarnos en este largo y difícil camino. Te pedimos que tengas a
María Paula siempre en tus oraciones. Dios los bendiga a todos ustedes.
