SINGER-songwriter Rico Blanco has made a heartfelt appeal to the public, asking for prayers for his younger brother, King, who has been diagnosed with an advanced and aggressive form of sinus cancer.
In a social media post, Rico described King as a “beautiful boy” with whom he shared a close bond.
“Only a year apart, we did everything together growing up, like best friends or even twins. We shared so many adventures and fought so many battles alongside each other. I love him so very dearly,” Rico wrote.
The diagnosis came as a shock, he revealed.
“The signs all came too rapidly and seemingly out of nowhere, and by the time we got the full diagnosis, we were told he already has an advanced and very aggressive type of squamous cell carcinoma (sinus),” he explained.
Treatment began on Wednesday, and Rico said the family remains hopeful. “We are praying that he can be cured,” he said.
Rico also took the chance to seek support from the public. “Please pray for King’s strength and healing. Only heaven really knows what’s best for my dear brother, but we are keeping our hopes up. I cannot bear to imagine a world without him in it. This is our toughest battle. Please, please help us win.”
