Strapped for cash and overwhelmed by her son’s failing health, 56-year-old Gloria Chase,Artem Anisimov Jersey, a resident of Joseph Pollydore Street,Patrik Berglund Jersey, Lodge, Georgetown, is seeking the help of members of the public and organisations for financial assistance.With evident concern on her face, the mother of seven said that she is currently unable to work as she must attend on a full-time basis to her 30-year-old son,Mark Scheifele Team North America Jersey, Dennis Abrams, who suffers from a tumour located in the lower section of his spine.The woman said that the condition surfaced about seven years ago. She noted that her son, who is the third of her children,John Gibson Team North America Jersey, started developing a limp which forced her to take him to a number of doctors both public and private. However no result was forthcoming to ascertain what was causing his ailment.It was not until a few months later,Jamie Benn Jersey, the woman said, that she was advised to speak with a Trinidadian Neurosurgeon who was at the time visiting at the Davis Memorial Hospital.He was able to diagnose that Abrams was suffering from a tumour but insisted that it be confirmed by an MRI.This was done at the St Joseph’s Mercy Hospital and according to the Neurosurgeon, Chase said, the condition could be brought on by a hit or it could take on the form of a spontaneous sickness.Following the discovery of the tumour, the woman said that efforts were made to have her son operated on at the Mount Hope Hospital in Trinidad.However, she noted, that there are reports that because her son was not given radiotherapy following the operation,Seth Jones Team North America Jersey, the tumour has since grown back.“He started using a walker and appeared to be a little bit better after the operation but as time went by he just started getting worse,Colton Parayko Team North America Jersey,” said Chase.Another MRI done at the St Joseph’s Mercy Hospital confirmed that the tumour has started growing back.According to the woman, the financial need which amounts to $2.2 million or TT$72,000 is required to conduct a surgery for the removal of an Ependymoma (tumour) from his lower spine. The Ministry of Health, she noted,Sean Couturier Team North America Jersey, has committed to giving $1 million towards the operation.The operation will be done at the St Clair Medical Centre in Trinidad and Tobago and according to the Consultant Neurosurgeon,Marcel Goc Jersey, Dr Robert Ramcharan, who is expected to perform the operation, Abrams has a recurrent thoracic ependymoma and is already paraplegic from reports seen.“I would recommend a re-operation to remove the ependymoma or it would continue to enlarge and spread and become fatal.”This required operation, he said, should be followed by radiation treatment to the thoracic spine to prevent any reoccurrence. However, the cost for the radiation treatment was not detailed on an estimate provided by the surgeon.Those desirous of rendering assistance to Abrams’ operation can deposit cash to Republic Bank Account 161-308-2 or contact family members on 696-3500, 687-7213 or 223-0451.
