Born into a humble family, we grew up like any child, between games, studies and experience, at the age of 14 I presented pain in the lower back, and it lasted with the passing of days. After going to the doctor and doing different studies, stones were detected in the kidneys, the doctors sent a series of medications and then with a surgery less to pulverize the stones and to make it more feasible to remove them.

Nacidos en el seno de una familia humilde, fuimos creciendo como todo niño, entre juegos, estudios y vivencia, a la edad de 14 presento un dolor en la parte baja de la espalda, y que se fue perdurando con el pasar de los días. Tras ir al médico y hacer diferentes estudios se detectó cálculos en los riñones, los doctores mandaron una serie de medicamentos para luego con una cirugía menos pulverizar las piedras y que sea más factible sustraerlas.

Arrived the day of the surgery, being in the operating room, they went to place a tube (so that he could urinate) the doctors after several attempts trying to place the tube, they realize that a blockage persists in a testicle, they realize that said obstruction it belongs to a tumor that was there.

Luego de hacer la cirugía para pulverizar las piedras, hizo una recuperación para luego volver al quirófano y extraer el tumor. Luego de ejecutada la operación el tumor se le hace una biopsia, la cual arroja un cáncer carcinoma con una rama de metástasis compleja.

The doctors make the decision to start doing chemotherapies, my family, already without financial resources, began to make collections to be able to cover the large expenses of this disease, my brother with courage and after a hard start he faced the disease with courage and great spirit, months of vomiting, pain and depression, seeing him suffer was also hard for us, but we never lowered our heads and kept fighting.

After 35 chemotherapies, surgery had to be performed to remove the tumors derived from the main tumor, these metatheses already detected after tomography and examinations, the surgery was complicated because it was with a very high range of difficulty. After 8 hours of operation, it was successfully completed, there were months of recovery, but an aura of joy was already felt for overcoming this disease, but it would only be a break for what would come years later.

Los médicos toman la decisión de comenzar hacer quimioterapias, mi familia ya sin recursos económicos comenzamos hacer recolectas para poder cubrir los grandes gastos de esta enfermedad, mi hermano con valor y tras un inicio duro enfrento la enfermedad con valentía y gran ánimo, pasaron meses de vomitar, dolores y depresiones, verlo sufrir para nosotros también era duro, pero nunca bajamos la cabeza y seguimos luchando.

Luego de 35 quimioterapias, se tenía que realizar una cirugía para extraer los tumores derivados del tumor principal, estas metátesis ya detectadas tras tomografías y exámenes, la cirugía complicada porque era con un rango de dificultad muy alto. Después de 8 horas de operación se culmina con éxito, fueron meses de recuperación pero ya se sentía un aura de alegría por su superación a esta enfermedad, pero solo sería un descanso para lo que vendría años después.

My brother graduates from primary school, and begins to lead his normal life, he emigrates to Ecuador where he lasts a couple of years and then he goes to Europe to Malta specifically in mid-2019. Being in Europe was an air never seen before, seeing beautiful places and know life, but what fate had prepared for him would be crazy.

Mi hermano se gradúa de primaria, y empieza hacer su vida normal, emigra a ecuador donde dura un par de años y luego se va a Europa a Malta específicamente a mediados de 2019. Estar en Europa era un aire nunca antes visto, ver lugares hermosos y conocer la vida, pero lo que el destino le tenía preparado sería una locura.

In the year 2021, already stable in Malta and living a happy and full life surrounded by friends and great moments, he began to feel pain in the side of his body, his mind told him that something was not right, he made the decision to go to the hospital and explain their case and after many tests they realize that the curse of cancer was back.

En el año 2021 ya estable en Malta y viviendo una vida feliz y plena rodeado de amigos y grandes momentos comienza a sentir un dolor en el costado del cuerpo, su mente le decía que algo no estaba bien, tomo la decisión de ir al hospital y explicar su caso y tras muchos exámenes se percatan que la maldición del cáncer estaba de vuelta.

Medicine in Europe is very advanced compared to other continents, making use of his medical insurance, the doctors plan to operate once more, they transfer him to England to perform the operation, they give him 5 days before the operation so that he can get to know the Chelsea area in London, where he poses incredible, once psyched up, he is operated on again. After 6 hours of surgery he comes out successfully and lives one more.

They spend months in recovery to begin a stronger and more exhausting chemotherapy process than the previous one, their body is not the same due to so much physical wear and tear, but even so, they continue forward. He is back in Malta where he is admitted to the hospital to begin his treatment, the devastating beginning until he asked God to take him to his side since he could not bear the pain and discomfort post chemotherapy. He successfully completes 3 complete cycles, full of great strength, they give him a few days to go home and be able to be calm with his friends.

Being back at the hospital and having carried out their respective medical evaluations, the doctors made the decision to cancel the chemotherapies because the tumor values ​​continued to increase and the treatment was no longer dealing with the cancer. The doctors meet with him, and they tell him that he only has 3 to 5 years to live while the development of the metastasis finishes running.

Pasan meses en recuperación para nuevamente comenzar un proceso de quimioterapia más fuerte y desgastante que el anterior, su cuerpo no es el mismo por tanto desgaste físico, pero aun así sigue adelante. Está de vuelta en malta donde es internado en el hospital para comenzar su tratamiento, el principio desvastador hasta llego a pedirle a Dios que se lo llevara su lado ya que no soportaba el dolor y los malestares post quimioterapia. Cumple con éxito 3 ciclos completos, lleno de mucha fuerza le dan unos días para que vaya a casa y pueda estar tranquilo con sus amigos.

Estando de regreso al hospital y ejecutada sus exámenes respectivos evaluaciones médicas, los doctores toman la decisión de cancelar las quimioterapias porque los valores tumorales seguían aumentando y el tratamiento ya no le estaba haciendo frente al cáncer. Los doctores se reúnen con él, y le cometan que solo tiene de 3 a 5 años de vida mientras termina de ejecutarse el desarrollo de la metástasis.

The progression of the disease is imminent, my brother, now much more mature, takes this news calmly, he no longer wants needles penetrating his skin, he no longer wants gray days full of discomfort.

El avance de la enfermedad es algo inminente, mi hermano ya mucho más maduro toma esta noticia con calma, ya no quiere más agujas penetrando su piel, ya no quiere más días grises y llenos de malestares.

Today he returned to Venezuela to be with his people, he spent 8 years outside his country without seeing his parents, brothers, among others, nothing like being at home and dying with his people, today he continues to fight in silence, he continues to do their monthly evaluations and trying to live to the fullest day after day.

"It doesn't matter how you live, just try to feel more and live twice so that tomorrow you don't regret anything, life is short and wonderful. Don't waste it'.

Hoy en día volvió a Venezuela para estar con su gente, duro 8 años fuera de su país sin ver a sus padres, hermanos entre otros, nada como estar en casa y morir con su gente, hoy en dia sigue luchando en silencio, sigue haciendo sus evaluaciones mensuales y tratando de vivir al máximo dia tras dia.

‘No importa como vivas, solo trata de sentir más y vive al doble para que el dia de mañana no te arrepientas de nada, la vida es corta y maravillosa . No la desperdicies’.
