Cristian has been taken off Steriods. This decision came from the team at Memorial Sloan Kettering. We didn’t think the steroids were effective anymore anyway.

Even though we know Cristian got great results on this first MRI on 4/14/08, while on the new treatment, we are concerned with Cristian’s weakness on his right side.

Cristian Had his first MRI since being on the new treatment (The combination of Bevacizumab and Irinotecan). We were very pleased with the results. Cristian’s Tumor decreased in size approximately 15 percent!

Our dear friend Ralph Mercado Sr. Had fellow Christian Ismael Miranda (also the salsa signer from Fania Records) visit him at home. Ismael Miranda along with a fellow Pastor prayed for Ralph Sr. after the prayer was over he declared Ralph Sr.

Today was Cristian’s MRI, and it read that his tumor has not grown and is currently stable. We believe that the new treatment is helping. Like I mentioned before this treatment is not a cure. My hope is that this medicine will help Cristian until we do find a cure.
