Marco’s Story

Site created on August 23, 2023

On July 8th I went into the ER after losing sensation and ability to walk with my right leg. July 10th I had spinal surgery because a tumor was found hitting on a nerve causing the pain in my leg. August 10th I received back my lab results letting me know the tumor was cancerous. Ewing Sarcoma is the cancer I have been diagnosed with. On August 15th my son, Enzo was born.  On August 21st I will be starting intense chemotherapy that will last 7 months.  Another MRI was done, and the cancer looks like it has grown and spread into the pelvis region.  This will add Radiation to course of treatment as well


The world of my family and I has changed drastically. The last few weeks have brought lots of tears. Some tears of joy and many of sadness. The darkness seems to never fade away. As my family and I begin this new journey to beat cancer I ask for prayer. The biggest fear I have is the unknown. I will fight for my family until the end. I know God will be with us through it all.

Journal entry by Marco Diaz —

Today Marco starts his second round of chemo treatments. We have enjoyed time as a family over the past week while Marco is still feeling well. For his next round of treatment, Marco will be in the hospital for 5 days. Upon check in, we received some great news from the doctors regarding his most recent PET scan which showed that the tumor has already shrunk after his first round of chemo. We appreciate your continued prayers for the next 5 days in the hospital & upcoming scans. 

Specific prayer request:
  • Marco’s body would continue to respond well to treatment.
  • Marco would receive comfort & peace from the Lord during treatment.
  • Marco’s white blood cell count would stay high so treatment can continue as planned.
