Alejandro era un joven de 25 años, a pesar de su corta edad la vida le tenía deparada una mala jugada. Ese día iba en compañía de su madre al consultorio del médico que lo estaba tratando desde hacía unas semanas atrás, ya que su salud comenzó a deteriorarse de una manera impresionante, que tanto él como su madre se preocuparon mucho y decidieron ir al médico.

Fue en ese momento donde la vida de Alejandro cambio para siempre. Cansado ya de ir de aquí para allá y someterse a innumerables tipos de exámenes, estudios y consultas, al fin el día de la verdad había llegado.

Caminaba sumido en sus pensamientos de la mano de su madre, cuando llegaron al hospital y luego al consultorio. El doctor especialista no estaba con buen semblante y eso les indicó que eran malas noticias. Efectivamente el médico le informó que lamentablemente todos los resultados indicaban cáncer de hígado.

Alejandro quedó en shock, no podía creer lo que escuchaba y vio pasar ante sus ojos toda su vida, su infancia feliz junto con sus hermanas y primos, los momentos amenos con sus compañeros de estudio, amigos y sobre todo con su maravillosa madre. Cuando volvió en sí, su madre lloraba desconsoladamente y el doctor le estaba diciendo que iban a empezar el proceso de quimio y radio.

En su casa Alejandro lloró por un largo rato solo en su habitación, la tristeza se apoderaba de él, luego cuando se calmó se dijo para el mismo "tengo que ser fuerte para superar esto y también por mi madre, porque tengo que ser yo el que le de fuerza y esperanza"

Alejandro pensó: Soy una persona privilegiada, ya que he tenido una vida plena y he sido muy afortunado de tener una hermosa familia y bellas personas que me aman y me van ayudar a salir adelante y juntos vamos a superar esto. Yo amo la vida y la valoro y voy a luchar por ella.

Alejandro was a young man of 25 years, despite his young age, life had a bad trick in store for him. That day he was going in the company of his mother to the doctor's office that had been treating him for a few weeks, as his health began to deteriorate in an impressive way, that both he and his mother were very concerned and decided to go to the doctor.

It was at that moment that Alejandro's life changed forever. Tired of going back and forth and undergoing countless types of tests, studies and consultations, the day of truth had finally arrived.

He was walking hand in hand with his mother, immersed in his thoughts, when they arrived at the hospital and then at the doctor's office. The specialist doctor was not looking well and that told them it was bad news. Indeed, the doctor informed him that unfortunately all the results indicated liver cancer.

Alejandro was in shock, he could not believe his ears and saw his whole life flash before his eyes, his happy childhood with his sisters and cousins, the pleasant moments with his classmates, friends and above all with his wonderful mother. When he came to, his mother was crying inconsolably and the doctor was telling him that they were going to start the chemo and radium process.

At home Alejandro cried for a long time alone in his room, sadness was taking over him, then when he calmed down he said to himself "I have to be strong to overcome this and also for my mother, because I have to be the one to give her strength and hope ".

Alejandro thought: I am a privileged person, since I have had a full life and I have been very fortunate to have a beautiful family and beautiful people who love me and will help me to get through this and together we will overcome this. I love life and I value it and I will fight for it.
