The story of Gustavo Cisneros

His fight against cancer began 3 years ago when he was managing Cultural Santa Rosa of the Second Division of Peru. When he noticed that he was urinating blood, he went to the doctor and an oncologist diagnosed him with "aggressive" prostate cancer and later, bone cancer.

Thanks to the help of Arsenal de Sarandí, who was in the Inca country to play a Copa Sudamericana match, he was able to go to Buenos Aires to continue with the medical treatment where he received help from Marcelo Gallardo, among other soccer personalities.

Gustavo Cisneros finished the hardest part of cancer treatment and now wants to go back to work.

170 days had passed since the fatal diagnosis, 14 chemo treatments and a long, painful and expensive medical treatment;

However, his fight was giving good results and his recovery was favorable.

At that time, he took advantage of his social networks to thank for the help received and shared his joy for the evolution: "10 cm in Peru, 8 when we did the PET in July. After eight chemo treatments, in the October scan it measured 1 cm. And now... 'prostate in normal size and shape'. What an inexplicable feeling..."

However, last week he surprised with his publication in which he points out that he will have to fight the tumor again, but does not put an end to the text since he maintains the hope that life will give him another chance.
