Fighting Rico’s Lymphoma (AITL)

Papa, sana wag sumama ang loob mo pag pinapangiti kita o pinapatawa..

Sabi kasi nila, mas hahaba ang buhay ng tao pag palatawa o palangiti.

Sana maintindihan mo na gusto naming humaba ang buhay mo..

Anuman ang nararamdaman mo kung maari nga sanang ipasa, papasanin ko para sayo.

Pa, sana lumaban ka dahil marami pa tayong gagawin..

Maglalakbay pa tayo kasama mga anak natin,

uuwi pa tayo sa Bohol, matagal na rin tayong di nakauwi sa inyo.

Magbabiking pa tayo pa, magjojogging, maglalakad mula sa bahay hanggang sa town

Tuturuan mo pa mga anak natin na magmaneho..

Maggragraduate pa mga anak natin sa high school at college..

Ikaw ang maghahatid sa kanila sa altar sa kanilang kasal..

Magbabantay pa tayo ng mga apo..

Pa lumaban ka, ngumiti ka, tumawa ka..

Marami pa tayong gagawing magkakasama..

Mahal na mahal ka namin Papa..

"Oliver, Oliver, please be good to Rico, he has been good to you..

No gin, no liquor..

Except of course for small slices of liempo..

He is only in his forty's, please behave..

Be naughty when we're ninety's..

Together with you Fever..

Please please come back when we already have our great grandchildren..

There are still tons that Rico can share..

Oliver, O Fever, together with you Lympho..

Please go.. please go.."

- I call my husband's liver, Oliver...

We had to stop intensive medication for now because Oliver is starting to bloat.

With a lot of people praying for us and with us, we surely will get through this..

THANK YOU..

Great improvement today:

WBC from 0.7 to 3.2

Platelet from 25 to 28

May 14 update:

16 days in the hospital..

WBC from 0.1 to 0.7 - hoping and praying it will continue to normalize.

Platelet from 23 to 25.

8 bags of platelet everyday, started 2 days ago..

Once CBC results normalize, my husband will proceed with 2 more treatments..

Prayers, support and love from everyone keep us going..

April 14:

My husband was diagnosed with Angioimmunoblastic T Cell Lymphoma (AITL) last March 13. From my reading, it is a very rare type of Non Hodgkins Lymphoma (NHL). He will undergo 2 cycles of hyper CVAD and then bone marrow transplant..

Sharing kasi nga daw rare.. it might help people with similar case.

Salamat din po sa pg accept.. it helps to have a support system..

God bless you all..
