– The psalmist of Puerto Rican origin, Luis Santiago, known for the songs “Si tú no estás” and “Because I love you”, characterized by the touch of romanticism that permeates his lyrics, today faces a tough battle of Health.
Luis Santiago has been diagnosed with a tumor in the spinal cord, which for some time has caused him discomfort and strong, almost unbearable pain.
It was through his social networks that the psalmist shared the harsh news with his audience, in which he assures that only God still has him on his feet, the hard times he has gone through hand in hand with his wife and children after the diagnosis of this wrong.
“For several years I have been suffering from severe back pain, headache, leg weakness and extreme fatigue. Increasingly stronger.”
“In recent years we visited specialists in different places, but none could find the real cause of the greatest of all those pains that keep me in bed most of the time,” said the psalmist in a statement.
Adding that what he is experiencing is not easy at all. “What I am experiencing has not been easy for me and I know much less for my family, since they have had to see me suffer without being able to do anything except pray and ask God for a miracle”.
will be operated on emergency
Luis Santiago kept his state of health a secret and it was until a few weeks ago that he shared the news: “Only very close people knew about all my ailments and frustrations in the absence of a diagnosis“, he claimed.
The singer has been subjected to in-depth studies. In the statement, he also stated that the Chief Neurosurgeon at Virtua Memorial Hospital, Patrick J. Connolly, subjected him to several studies, giving us the news that he had found a tumor in the spinal cord and ordering a surgical intervention or surgery for this coming July 9, 2020.
So far it is unknown if the Tumor is benign or malignant. “Due to the place where the tumor is located, it is not possible to take a biopsy before the operation since they need to remove 2 vertebrae to gain access to it”, added the psalmist.
At the same time, he asked his followers and people from the Christian world to pray a lot for this situation and invited those with a good heart to “support with a grain of sand,” at a time when the pandemic, the world economic crisis and the personal finances of the artist are also affected”.

“It will be a very difficult and hard time financially since our income depends on the offerings I receive for singing and preaching. I have dedicated my life to God and to you and I know that neither of us will forsake us in this difficult moment”. That is why today I appeal to your love and big heart to urgently ask for your help. In advance my family and I thank you for your prayers and donations.
The neurosurgeon explained to them that recovery after the operation would be slow, even if it went well it could take up to three months just to start the therapies to walk again, and then several more months to be ready to resume normality and ministry.
