May 9th

Update on Cezar's Condition
Radiation onco wants repeat scan in August, surgical onco wants it done ASAP. They agreed and moved the scan to first week of June. Surg onco checked Cezar's gums and right nostril and said that it would be better if we have the surgery soon. He's very positive about the shrinkage and does not want to waste time. Everything is on hold until then.

Great news - Cezar has started eating again! 😍  All he eats is chicken sotanghon because it's the only texture he can tolerate for now, but at least he isn't relying solely on formula anymore. His throat is still very much sore but we are able to manage it a little with numbing mouth wash. We can't wait for him to go back to his previous eating habits.

Thank you for all the prayers and please pray for us some more. We are always praying for all of you too.   We hope you have a wonderful rest of the week! God bless us all!

Happy 30th birthday, Love!

"I swear, by the moon and the stars in the skies, I'll be there. And I swear, like the shadow that's by your side, I'll be there. For better or worse, 'til death do us part, I love you with every beat of my heart and I swear..."




Happy, happy 30th birthday love! Oo na ako na ang cheesy na nagdededicate ng kanta sa birthday mo. Gusto ko sana ikeep private 'to pero mas gusto ko isigaw sa universe kung gano kita kamahal at kung gaano ako kathankful na pinanganak ka sa mundo 30 years ago.


Alam ko sobrang hirap ng pinagdadaanan mo ngayon. Alam ko wala akong magagawa para maibsan ang pain mo. Pero gusto ko lang malaman mo na andito lang ako lagi para sa'yo. Walang iwanan kahit saan pa tayo makarating.

Ikaw ang pinakamagandang bagay na nangyari sa akin at hanggang ngayon hindi ko parin alam kung deserving ba ako sa'yo. Ang alam ko lang handa akong ubusin ang buong buhay ko para maprove sa'yo na sobrang mahal kita.

Lagi mo sinasabi pag nagkakaproblema tayo na hump lang yun na kailangan lagpasan. Alam ko itong sakit mo hump lang rin. Pinakamalaki so far pero hindi imposibleng malagpasan. Malapit ka na kase maglevel up kaya kailangan dumaan sa boss fight 

Salamat sa napakaraming taon ng saya. Hindi naging posible yun kung hindi ka pinanganak ni mommy haha! Dagdagan pa natin ang masasayang memories natin. Hindi muna ako magluluto kase baka maupset ka lang dahil 'di ka pa makakain pero promise kapag kaya mo na kumain lahat ng gusto mo lulutuin ko.

I love you di. Happy birthday uli! Wala akong gift na mabibigay kundi oras at pagmamahal. Alam ko naman sapat na 'yon sa'yo. Basta gusto ko malaman mo whatever happens, may isang taong magmamahal sa'yo at hinding hindi ka iiwan.

May 3rd

Update on Cezar's Condition

Met with Cezar's Rad Onco today. Repeat scan will be in August with periodical xrays in June and July. This is to allow the inflammation in the area surrounding the tumor to go down. Right now the only indicator we have that the tumor has gotten smaller are the ff

  • Tumor protruding his gums no longer visible
  • Pain meds cut down significantly with no issues
  • Cezar can now open his right eye without getting dizzy (he still keeps it closed because of the double vision)
  • Right eye no longer bulging
  • He can smell on and off now
  • Part of the tumor visible inside his right nostril can no longer be seen
  • Bridge of the nose no longer tilts to the left


Right now our goal is for him to gain weight in prep for his surgery. Doc says the sores will heal in a week or two so it will no longer be painful to swallow, talk, or eat. In the next few weeks as the swelling goes down he will be able to breathe normally again. It's a long wait but we trust in God's plan and know that His timing is always right. Please pray for Cezar's healing. As always, thank you all for the support and God bless you all!

39 painful radiotherapy sessions done!

James 1:12

"Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him."

39 painful radiotherapy sessions done! Tested by heartbreaking trials but we are here, dear God, and our faith has grown stronger than ever. Guide us as we approach Cezar's surgery. Bigyan nyo po ng lakas ang asawa ko na kayanin nya ang mga susunod pang pagsubok sa buhay nya. Pagalingin nyo po sya. Alam ko pong hindi nyo sya pababayaan.
