Finally home.. Prayers please!

Odie's finally home.

It was Feb. 29 when we rushed Odie to the emergency room of Capitol Medical. He had cough then and was not feeling well. He was about to pick up his wife from work when he had blurred vision and asked us to bring him to the hospital. At the hospital, his BP was 70/40, ecg was normal, blood test was normal. He was released after 2hours and was adviced to see a cardio and neuro immediately.

MIL was bothered and brought Odie the following day to the doctor. He had his 2D Echo and got the results the following week.

The following week, Odie lost his voice and was adviced to see a pulmonologist. He had his x-ray- or was it ultrasound, and found a big mass at his left lung. He had his CT Scan a week before the holy week and found a 9cmX11cm tumor in between his left lung and heart, on top of his aorta.

Monday, right after the holy week, he was admitted at Lung Center for his biopsy on Wednesday. The tumor is not just on top of his aorta but wrapped itself around his heart, suppressing his nerve going to the voice box, thus the lost of his voice. It is malignant.

The family decided to treat the tumor the alternative medicine way and not to go through chemo. It is cancer of the germ cell, a very rare kind of disease. So Odie finally went home to MIL's house to rest and recover. Odie is only 31years old and 4months married. He is strong and he is fighting!

The family is fighting it together with Odie. We thank you for your continuous prayers for the quick recovery of Odie and strength for the family. Thank you!
