If you could say a short pray for Richard A. Gumatay now, please do.

Yesterday he was experiencing short term memory loss. Everything that had happen since he got hospitalised last year August 9,2018 until Friday June 21, 2019 - he can’t remember clearly or forgot.

Saturday June 22 when I got home until he fell asleep he was asking everyone at home same series of question.

Question like, “Kelan pa ako ganito? may cancer pala ako? panaginip ba ito? totoo pala ngyari? Nag chemo pala ako? Kalbo ako dahil kasi may cancer ako at nag chemo ako? Yung kasal namin ni Ara hindi natuloy? Ilang taon ako nag work?”

For our friends who isn’t familiar with Tagalog, Chad’s questions were,

“When did I stated to be like this? I have cancer? Is this a dream? Is this really happening? Am I bald? Is it because I have cancer and had chemo? I had chemo sessions? Our wedding never happened? How many years was I working?”

The sequence would differ time to time. one question to another question continuous cycle of him asking.

It hurts to see him like that...please pray for chad’s healing and recovery from Thymic Carcinoma and this phase of him having a short term memory loss...

We need your prayers. God bless.

Update:

Recently looked up in one group page of other people having Thymic Carcinoma, they shared that the side effect of chemo treament / meds is called “CHEMO BRAIN”. The chemo meds used to treat the cancer can CAUSE confusion, short term memory loss and dementia.

Please pray for Chad’s healing and recovery.
