A two-year-old child suffering from lumps in the neck and armpit is appealing for help to the GMA Kapuso Foundation.
As seen in Mel Tiangco's report on "24 Oras," Monday, Ash would sometimes experience pain because of the lump.
"Meron siguro 'yung time na kikirot 'yung bukol niya, tapos meron din 'yung time na hindi. Like nung ano nakaraan po, naiyak-iyak po siya kasi sa bukol niya siguro. Kasi tinuturo niya 'yung kamay niya sa may part ng bukol niya," said Reynalyn Taguibao, Ash's mom.
Through the help of Kapuso Foundation, a pediatric surgeon from the Philippine Children's Medical Center examined Ash's condition.
"'Yung diagnosis namin ay cystic hygroma. Abnormality ito ng pag-develop ng kulani or lymph nodes. So, imbes na maging kulani na maliliit, siya ay lumaki at naging cystic," PCMC Pediatric surgeon Dr. Beda Espinosa said.
According to Espinoda, cystic hygroma can be treated in two ways: through injectible medicine that will shrink and get rid of the cyst or through surgery.
"Humingi po ko ng tulong na ma-operahan po sana si baby," Reynalyn said.
For those who wish to help Ash, you may send your donations through bank deposits, Cebuana Lhuillier, GCash, Shopee, PayMaya, Zalora, MegaMart, Globe Rewards, Metrobank credit card, and Lazada.
