A Little Bit About  My Family

This is me at 8 1/2 months.

Little Cristian does not want to die.

My father, Octavian Peri

My mother, Olga Dumitrescu

I have been fighting stage IV colon cancer since December 2005. I underwent abdominal surgery in 2005 and thoracic and abdominal surgery in 2007.         My brother, Viorel, told me to look at these pictures because they have healing power. I should also have faith that I will get well as I did every time I was ill as a child. At this time in my life I need help in order to be able to continue my treatments.       Either I defeat my disease or it will defeat me. After two years I am still alive, hoping to continue my fight and live.      It seems that my disease is gone. I have two more cycles of chemotherapy to undergo. I hope that at the end of this period I will receive a clean bill of health that will last for many years to come.
