A daughter's plea 🙏 Stand beside my warrior dad in his fight against brain mets

My father has been bravely battling metastatic prostate cancer since 2021. Each year has brought new challenges and hospitalizations, but this year has been especially heartbreaking. Since July 8, he’s been confined at ManilaMed. His condition deteriorated quickly, his creatinine spiked, leading to a diagnosis of end-stage renal failure. He now undergoes dialysis thrice weekly through a permcath. His strength fades with every session.

Hormonal therapies are no longer helping, and chemotherapy may do more harm than good. His appetite has faded to almost nothing, and he’s being fed through a nasogastric tube. Even small movements leave him breathless he now depends on oxygen. Then on Tuesday, the seizures began. A CT scan confirmed brain metastasis, news that turned our world upside down. Radiation is planned to help manage symptoms as part of palliative care.

As I write this, my heart is aching. Watching someone you love disappear slowly is indescribable. I’ve always looked up to my dad, he’s a self-sacrificing hardworker all his life. I’m terrified of losing him but even more so, I don’t want him to keep suffering. My dad is a warrior but no warrior should have to face this battle alone. I’m reaching out for your prayers and any support you can offer. Every contribution will go directly toward his care. Your generosity means the world to our family and helps bring him the comfort he deserves.
