PLEASE HELP US IN OUR QUEST TO OVERCOME CANCER
ON JULY 29, 2004, PAQUITO RODRIGUEZ, ACCORDIONIST AND VOCALIST OF THE ALMA TEJANA BAND, WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A RARE TYPE OF CANCER KNOWN AS NEUROBLASTOMA. THIS TYPE OF CANCER IS EVEN MORE RARE IN ADULTS HIS AGE (FOUND IN ONLY 1 OUT OF EVERY 5-10 MILLION ADULTS IN THE US).

BECAUSE THIS CHILDHOOD CANCER IS SO RARE IN ADULTS, THERE IS NO STANDARD PROCEDURE FOR TREATMENT. EVERYTHING DONE ON HIM WILL BE EXPERIMENTAL. PAQUITO’S DR. SAYS THAT ONE TREATMENT WOULD WIPE OUT HIS BANK ACCOUNT (AND HE IS A DR.)

TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, HE DOESN’T HAVE INSURANCE. HE IS IN THE PROCESS OF APPLYING FOR AID, BUT THE PROCESS IS LONG AND THERE IS NO GUARNTEE THAT HE WILL EVEN GET IT.
