A group of porteños organized this Sunday a solidarity walk to raise awareness among the population of that city about the cause of little Tomás, from Braga, who needs financial help to carry out treatments against aggressive cancer in Barcelona and in the United States of America .
During this morning, the group, duly authorized by the authorities, walked along the banks of the Duero River, handing out small information brochures on this cause.
In a brief note published on social networks, Tomás’ parents show themselves with “all their heart”, thanking the people of Porto for the initiative, where none of the PSP agents lacked support.
Little Tomás, 7, needs financial help to receive cancer treatment abroad. For this, a solidarity account was created to help parents, who live in the municipality of Braga.
The parents explain that, on September 20, 2019, Tomás was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, an aggressive and invasive cancer. A few days later, on October 1, he was diagnosed with an amplification of MYCN, the “most terrible, aggressive and invasive form of cancer” within neuroblastoma.
After several treatments in Portugal, everything seemed to be on the right track for the boy’s recovery, but last week, a “bomb” fell on the life of that family, when they realized that the same cancer had returned.
“Awesome and overwhelming pain was part of this day. We had gone through so many tests, Tomás has already suffered so much with so many treatments and after all the treatments in Portugal they proved to be ineffective because the cancer returned ”, the parents say, who decided“ not to give up ”.
“At the end of the day, we have always been volunteers in a thousand and one solidarity projects, we have always been the ones who helped and did not ask for help,” indicate the parents, adding that they have always been refusing to help during the last year.
However, the situation has changed, and now the family’s goal is to take Tomás to Barcelona and the United States for treatments that have “a very high cost.”
The parents reveal that little Tomás has already undergone eight cycles of chemotherapy, a highly invasive surgery, an autotransplant that confined him to a room for a month and a half, several cycles of radiotherapy and three cycles of immunotherapy.
Still, I always recovered and smiled. He is a fighter and deserves to fight for him ”, write the parents.
“So, no matter how difficult it is for us, we are asking for the help that each one of us can and wants to give so that we can go with Tomás to Barcelona and the United States to carry out targeted treatments in accordance with the clinical team that accompanies Tomás in Porto and that It can save you to continue your dreams of being a footballer and learn martial arts to teach manna Constança ”, they add.
