Humihingi ng dasal ang singer na si Rico Blanco para sa kanyang younger brother na may cancer.

Ang malungkot na balita about his beloved brother ay sinabi niya sa kanyang Instagram post.

“This beautiful boy you see with me is my younger brother, King. Only a year apart, we did everything together growing up, like bestfriends, or even twins. We shared so many adventures and fought so many battles alongside each other. I love him so very dearly,” simula ng OPM singer.

A few weeks ago lang nila nalaman ang heartbreaking news na may squamous cell carcinoma ang kanyang kapatid.

“A few weeks ago we received the terrible news that he has cancer. The signs all came too rapidly and seemingly out of nowhere, and by the time we got the full diagnosis, we were told he already has an advanced and very aggressive type of squamous cell carcinoma (sinus),” pagbabahagi ni Rico.

Ayon sa isang medical website, “Squamous cell carcinoma of the sinus” refers to a type of cancer that originates in the lining of the sinus cavities, specifically a malignant tumor composed of squamous cells, which are flat, scale-like cells that line the inside of the sinuses; it is considered a relatively rare and aggressive form of head and neck cancer, often arising in the maxillary sinus and sometimes presenting with non-specific symptoms, making early diagnosis challenging.”

Nagsimula na ang treatment ng kapatid ni Rico kaya hiningi niya ang tulong ng netizens para samahan silang magdasal nang malampasan nila ang malaking pagsubok na ito.

“His treatment started yesterday, and we are praying all our efforts are not too late. Weve also decided to share so we can humbly ask for your help — please pray for King’s strength and healing.

Only heaven really knows whats best for my dear brother but we are keeping our hopes up. I cannot bear to imagine a world without him in it. This is our toughest battle. Please, please help us win,” pahayag ni Rico.
