Help Patrick Win His Battle Against Cancer
Help Patrick Win His Battle Against Mixed Germ Cell Tumor. تجدون ملخّصًا عن رحلة باتريك مع المرض بعد النّصّ المكتوب باللّغة الإنكليزيّة Hi everyone, This is Mariella, a very close friend of Patrick's sister. I'm reaching out to share Patrick's journey and ask for your support during this tough challenge. Patrick Hachem, the 17 year old determined and resilient boy, full of life and energy, was diagnosed in February 2023 with a right testicular germ cell tumor, for which he underwent complete surgical resection and treatment. In March 2024, he had disease recurrence in the right retroperitoneum, which was completely resected. In August 2024, he had a relapse in the liver, which was also completely resected. Patrick's family decided to seek out the opinion of Dr. Raphah Borghol at AUBMC. Pathology analyses reviewed at AUBMC and Saint Jude Children's Research Hospital, USA, confirmed the diagnosis of mixed malignant germ cell neoplasm. The tumor consisted of both mature and immature teratomatous elements, in addition to yolk sac tumor. Following expert consultation with Dr. Carlos Rodriguez-Galindo from St. Jude, Memphis, Patrick requires High-dose chemotherapy using the TI-CE protocol. This regimen consists of 2 cycles of paclitaxel and ifosfamide (each cycle lasting 14 days), followed by 3 cycles of high-dose carboplatin with etoposide. After each carboplatin-etopiside cycle, Patrick will undergo TANDEM AUTOLOGOUS STEM CELL TRANSPLANTS (one per cycle). Treatment was initiated on January 2, 2025. The tandem stem cell transplants are scheduled for February, March and April 2025. The total cost of the 3 bone marrow transplants is $75,000 as per attached statement. CCCL is going to cover the costs of care at CCI, but they do not cover bone marrow transplant procedures, which is the treatment that Patrick needs to receive for his recurrent disease. Therefore, i've started this fundraising campaign to help Patrick and his family with the expenses of the transplants. Time is critical and Patrick needs our immediate support. Please help me spread the word and please remember that every penny counts. Patrick, his family, his friends and all his loved ones have high hopes for this treatment, so please let us join forces to help this modest loving family win that battle. Thank you for standing by us and for showing us your love and support. We are very grateful for each and everyone of you. With gratitude and love, Mariella ♡ رسالة إلى أصحاب القلوب المُحِبّة والمعطاءة وأصحاب النّوايا الحسنة. خلال شهر شباط ٢٠٢٣، تمّ تشخيص إصابة باتريك هاشم، ابن ال١٥ عامًا في حينه، بورم الخلايا الجرثوميّة. على الرّغم من استئصال الورم، عاوده المرض خلال شهر آذار ٢٠٢٤ في الغشاء البطني وتمّ استئصاله بالكامل. خلال شهر آب ٢٠٢٤، عاوده المرض، في الكبد هذه المرّة، واستؤصل الورم مجدّدًا. بعد مراجعة التّحاليل من قبل المركز الطّبّي في الجامعة الأميركيّة في بيروت ومستشفى ساينت جود في الولايات المتّحدة الأميركيّة، واستشارة الدّكتور كارلوس رودريغز-غاليندو في ساينت جود - أميركا، باتريك بحاجة إلى علاج كيميائي بجرعات عالية مقسّم على ٣ مراحل، تليه ٣ عمليّات زرع خلايا جذعيّة. تقرّر إجراء عمليّات الزّرع خلال أشهر شباط، آذار ونيسان ٢٠٢٥. التّكلفة الإجماليّة لعمليّات الزّرع الثّلاث هي ٧٥ ألف دولار أميركي (٢٥ ألف لكلّ عمليّة). سيقوم مركز سرطان الأطفال في لبنان بتغطية تكاليف العلاج في مركزهم، إلّا أنّه لا يغطّي تكاليف عمليّات الزّرع. حاولت العائلة اللّجوء إلى وسائل عديدة لتأمين تكاليف العمليّات دون جدوى، لذلك ارتأينا إنشاء حملة لجمع التّبرّعات. هذا العلاج هو أمل باتريك وعائلته وأصدقائه الأخير في القضاء والتّغلّب على المرض. رجائي أن نتعاون ونكثّف جهودنا في أدائنا لرسالتنا الإنسانيّة. أشكركم على دعمكم، مهما بلغت قيمته، وعلى كرمكم ومحبّتكم. مع محبّتي، مارييلا

Dad’s Surgery Fund: A Call for Support
My beloved father is currently facing a difficult battle against diabetes, which has severely affected his health. His feet are no longer receiving blood flow, and as a result, he is now in the hospital undergoing dialysis. Time is running out. The doctors have informed us that he urgently needs a surgery to install a "vascular access" and open the blood vessels to avoid amputation of his leg from the thigh. This surgery is his only chance to save his leg and avoid the devastating consequences of delayed treatment. Unfortunately, the cost of the procedure exceeds our financial capacity. Therefore, we are reaching out to kind-hearted people to help us during this critical time, so that my father can receive the life-saving treatment he desperately needs. Any donation, no matter how small, will make a significant impact on our lives. We deeply appreciate your support during this challenging time. Together, we can give him a chance for recovery and a better life. والدي العزيز يواجه حالياً معركة صعبة ضد مرض السكري الذي أثر بشكل كبير على صحته، فقد أصابه الضرر في قدميه لدرجة أن الدم لا يصل إليهما نهائيًا. بسبب هذه الحالة الحرجة، هو الآن في المستشفى يخضع لغسيل الكلى، والوقت يداهمنا. الطبيب أخبرنا أنه يحتاج إلى إجراء عملية عاجلة لتركيب "راصور" وفتح شرايين الدم لكي يتجنب بتر قدمه من الفخذ. هذه العملية هي الفرصة الوحيدة أمامه للحفاظ على قدمه وتجنب العواقب الوخيمة التي قد تترتب على تأخر العلاج. ولكن للأسف، تكاليف العلاج تتجاوز قدرتنا المالية. لذا، نحن نوجه نداءً من القلب لكل من يقدر مساعدتنا في هذا الوقت الصعب، حتى يستطيع والدنا الحصول على العلاج الذي ينقذ حياته. كل تبرع مهما كان صغيرًا سيكون له أثر عميق في حياتنا. نقدر لكم من أعماق قلوبنا دعمكم في هذه اللحظة الصعبة. معًا يمكننا أن نعطيه فرصة للشفاء والعيش حياة أفضل.
