Calling all ADMU HS alumni! Big Boy needs our help!

From Raffy's email:

Hi Everyone!

Benjy Concepcion got to talk to Big Boy last week and the following is a summary of what happened to Big Boy:

• 
  
  Last 05Jan06 Big Boy had a convulsion while at work.


• 
  
  He went to Medical City for an MRI and a CT Scan.


• 
  
  The CT Scan revealed that he has a small mass (1.3 by 1.8 by .8mm) in the left globe of his brain.


• 
  
  The doctor, Dr Roderick Casis, advised him to get a cranial biopsy. He was also advised that there is a chance that he might be paralysed in the right arm. He got a second opinion from Dr Mariano of St Luke's and he was advised the same thing.


• 
  
  He got a third opinion from Dr Edmund Mercado of Cardinal Santos who advised him of a new method that would use a syringe to extract a tissue sample from his brain and then the sample would be examined by a pathologist.


• 
  
  Dr Mercado advised him to prepare an initial P350,000 for the procedure and treatment.


• 
  
  They are targetting the procedure to be around 15Aug06.


• 
  
  Lately, Big Boy has been feeling dizzy, uneasy and stressed out.

Big Boy's insurance will only cover P100,000 of the P350,000 so we need to pool our efforts to fund the balance - P250,000.

Donations are accepted at the office of the Principal (Fr RB Hizon SJ).

We're targeting 06Aug06 (also the birthday of Deutsche) as the deadline for the donations so that Big Boy can continue with the procedure on 15Aug06. It's nice to know that Deutsche's mom is very involved in this initiative and is helping Big Boy get the best treatment possible. We need all the help we can get to raise the the P250,000 so please ask your family and friends for support too.
