Boy with relapsed cancer needs help for chemotherapy

A 14-year-old boy from Barangay South Poblacion, Naga City greatly needs financial help as he continues to undergo chemotherapy treatment.

Lance Andre Alberto was first diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma on April 19, 2018. He was 12 years old that time. Prior to his diagnosis, Lance experienced body weakness and he suddenly became unconscious inside their house. His parents rushed him to the nearest hospital in Naga City. After medical interventions were carried out, he was transferred to a hospital in Cebu City for further assessment and treatment. Lance was then confined in the pediatric intensive care unit for ten days.

Lance’s chemotherapy started on May 7, 2018. It was the first out of the six cycles of his treatment protocol. He then successfully completed the six cycles on October 2018. On January 20, 2019, his attending physician noted an increasing mass on the left side of his back and then declared that his Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is in relapse. Subsequently, his chemotherapy was started once again and his new treatment protocol would last for four years.

Lance is a thoughtful boy who has a close bond with his family. He is the youngest of the three siblings. He is also a grade 8 student who loves to cook and dreams to become a chef someday. His father is now out of work. His mother works as an office clerk who earns at least P350 per day. His older siblings also lend a hand to support the family as they work as a business administration and accounting graduate.
