Campaign Story
My Mama, Luzviminda Yalung, 53 years old, was diagnosed with Endometrial Carcinoma (commonly called uterine cancer) in November 2017. She first consulted an OB-Gyne in August 2017 because of sudden water discharges even without urinating.
In November, her ultrasound result showed wall thickening on her uterus, and the biospy findings concluded the diagnosis. She was operated that same month.
By January 2018, her chemotherapy sessions started. She completed the six sessions in June 2018, and the following month, her ultrasound results showed dismal news -- the tumor grew 2 centimeters.
In August 2018, she had to undergo surgery for the second time. Upon opening, it was found out that the cancer metastasized in her colon, and in a matter of weeks, 8 tumors grew and were removed during surgery. A portion of her colon was even cut in the process.
Second round of chemotherapy began in September 2018. Ultrasound result in November showed no signs of tumor, everyone was hopeful.
However, in January 2019, after the 6th and last session, the CA 125 gave a very depressing outcome. CA 125 test was executed to validate that the patient is cancer free, with 35 as cut-off value. Unfortunately, my mothers result shoot from 8 to 217.
February 2019, her ultrasound showed 5 tumors again on the same location where it was previously detected: 11 cm x 9 x 8 in size, while others are 6 and 3, 1 and 1 cm respectively.
Currently, complications are starting to arise, there is water build up in her stomach so doctors had to drain the fluid through paracentesis. A catheter is now attached to her bladder, she had to undergo blood transfusion due to anemia, and she could not sleep and eat because of constant and severe pain.
