Carlyle Regulus Suson was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on August 12, 2020. Two months before his unexpected diagnosis, symptoms of a disease began to appear. He was experiencing recurring fever, unusual paleness, body weakness, and easy fatiguability. It was also difficult for him to stand and walk.
Carlyle Regulus Suson was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on August 12, 2020
Because of these alarming symptoms, his parents sought medical help at a hospital in Sogod, Cebu. After that, he was then referred to a hospital in Cebu City where he was admitted for several days. Laboratory tests were performed such as complete blood count and bone marrow aspiration to determine his condition. When the results were out, it revealed that he has Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), a type of cancer of the blood which commonly affects children. This disease is characterized by the abnormal increase in the production of immature lymphocytes by the bone marrow. Despite the weakening effects of this disease, there is a high chance of cure for children who are treated promptly with intensive chemotherapy.

Carlyle’s first dose of chemotherapy was administered on August 20, 2020. For the purpose of achieving complete healing, a three-year treatment protocol was prescribed by his attending hematologist-oncologist. Children with this type of cancer usually face challenges and uncertainties throughout the whole duration of their chemotherapy. Currently, he is on maintenance phase of his treatment. His monthly chemotherapy together with his regular laboratory workups and medical procedures are highly expensive. The estimated cost can reach up to P12,000 every month.
Carlyle is an active and playful boy. He loves to bike and dance too. Even in his tender age, he exhibits faith and courage. He is the first of the two siblings in the family and he is deeply loved by his parents. His father is a chef who works at a resort with at least P10,000 income every month. The pandemic decreased his pay because his duty is now in an on-call basis. His mother is a housewife who takes good care of the whole family. Indeed, his father’s salary is barely enough to supply the growing needs of his family. The costly nature of Carlyle’s chemotherapy also added a huge strain to their already-depleted financial resources. They are really in need of help. Thus, in order to save Carlyle’s life and sustain his ongoing treatment, his parents are humbly appealing for financial assistance from generous individuals who have the heart to share their blessings.
