I’m Raizzia Arrianne R. Dela Cruz, 15 yrs. Old and a resident of Davao City. I’m so blessed to have a great loving God who is always by my side. I was diagnosed to have Acute Lympocytic Leukemia (ALL) when I was 6 years old (1999). I went thru the prescribed protocol, 3 years of chemotherapy, bone marrow aspiration (BMA), spinal tapping and other laboratory tests. I was declared under complete remission on October of 2002.
Unfortunately, since last September 2006 I experienced weakness in my lower extremities and later facial paralysis and optic neuropathy. All of these were manifestations of a relapse. I went thru series of laboratory tests, BMA, MRI and it was thru spinal tapping that I was diagnosed to have a CNS relapse ALL or in simple terms the leukemic cells infiltrated my brain and spinal cord. I have to undergo another series of intensive and expensive laboratory tests, chemotherapy and cronio-spinal irradiation. I do know how precious and how good life is. I pray that God answer my prayers to grant me this precious life. I’ve been thru this once and I know with God I can make it through by His mercy and grace. I would like you to pray for my healing and victory over leukemia. Going thru the treatment entails costly medicines and therapy. Please include in your prayers that God will provide and will touch hearts to help me financially. My parents don’t earn that much and no assurance that I can go thru the protocol again. Please help me. Your blessings will be of great help for me to endure the battle of life. Thank you and God bless!!!
