Gio (9 years old): “The tumor in her head is so big that she’s gone completely blind in one eye. My poor Mommy…”
Gio: “Mommy, don’t cry. Everything will be okay. You’re strong – you have to beat this for our sake! Who will take care of us if not you?”
Two tumors have taken root in Asmat’s brain, pressing against her central nervous system, slowly destroying her body. It’s like a ticking time bomb that could go off at any moment…
Asmat (36 years old): “I barely survived the biopsy. The surgeons said the tumor is in a dangerous spot. One wrong move, and I wouldn’t be here now.”
Asmat’s husband, David, had to leave his job to care for her. Now, he is her hands and her legs. Since the paralysis set in, she can’t stand or walk on her own.
