Manuel’s Story

Site created on October 24, 2019

Welcome to my page. On October 17, 2019 I was diagnosed with Esophageal and Colon Cancer. I am ready for the fight of my life and I hope that you can support me while I do so. I will have good days and I will have bad days. It will be difficult to repeat my story and progress over and over, so I created this page for updates.

Journal entry by Jessica Ortega

Dads visit at MD Anderson today, went great.
Manuel, will begin his Chemo treatment this Saturday November 23rd. They will connect him to a portable pump that will run for 3 days continuously. We will go in, they will set him up with a pouch  for the chemo pump  meds that will run continuously for 48 hours. Then on Monday November 25th we go back to have the pump disconnected. 
His treatments will be every other week for 2 months.  When the 2 month treatment is complete they will repeat a  CT Scan to check status of progress. 
So this was a great visit. 

Keep Praying for Manny!
