 On April 4th 2022 my grandson went into sudden cardiac arrest he was misdiagnosed with pneumonia a week before the incident, later on flown to Loma Linda where they later discovered he had multiple tumors which one grew into his heart from the liver causing his sudden cardiac arrest we were told he had  hepatoblastoma a very rare cancer in kids aka liver cancer. The next couple days they planned open heart surgery to get as much of the tumors out we were told it’s a very risky surgery to prepare for the worse as the same day we baptize Pacheco and most family came to visit before surgery day. Pacheco did so well they got what there were able to see in his chest and heart he started breathing on his own next day and walking, 11 days later he started his first round of chemo he was in clinical trial we were desperate to try anything that will work he was showing improvement in the beginning then January 4th 2023 he had a lobectomy of the liver they cut 25% of his liver that’s where most of the cancer was, it was a size of a lemon, he did great in the surgery the original plan was to get a liver transplant, but in order to get a liver transplant, you can’t have cancer outside the liver which Pacheco still had spots in his lungs, and we had to move fast because his the cancer was still alive and growing unfortunately he finished his treatment plan he still has multiple spots of tumors, he just had a CT scan and  our oncologist said was not looking too good got new tumors and still growing in the liver and to look for 2nd opinions, we got a call yesterday to see if we could fly to Cincinnati where there’s a doctor, who specialize in that type of cancer to see what else we can do for him, so we’re asking for help if you could please donate and share Pacheco story, anything will help with medical and travel expenses, and much appreciated God bless, thank you 🙏 💙🙏

Update

Unfortunately after weeks of waiting for our insurance to approve to move everything to Cincinnati Ohio our insurance denied us because they had the treatment here in California, And now Were told by the oncologist that the new treatment would be consist of two types of medication one of them being the same as what he has received and they were reluctant to continue this type of chemo due to the damage it causes to kidneys, hearing, and heart, especially because of how long he has been doing chemo also, But it would only be our option if there were no other treatments available. Pacheco primary care physician began reaching out to other specialty hospitals in hopes of getting Pacheco enrolled into any new study that were being taken place in his type of cancer. On about the 15th of this month we heard back from CHLA that they may have a study/surgery that he could be a part of. We are scheduled for a consultation appointment this week to discuss what options we have in hopes of being able to get control of the cancer in his lungs so we can get a full liver transplant. We are also looking into a holistic doctor as well. Clinically Pacheco is good hes been active playing and running all over the place. He has not been on any type of chemo for a couple months now since we have been waiting to see what our next step. So he has been a happy little boy but unfortunately his numbers are still rising.

 

May 21st Pacheco celebrated his 4th birthday with his older sister Zillah, and surrounded by all his family.  This has been his first real birthday party so he was stoked!

 

I want to thank you all for donating and keeping Pacheco in your prayers this has all been a frustrating long wait for my family, I appreciate you all and will update you guys when we have other news.

God bless, and I hope you enjoy these new pictures of Pacheco and family
