Cancer-stricken TUX member needs help

It was Funfare Update’s New York correspondent Edmund Silvestre who informed me that Carlo Bulahan, a member of the singing group TUX, is battling colon cancer.
“He badly needs financial help,” said Edmund.
Carlo, who is married to Ma. Carmela “Marika” Amigo, was operated on last May and has been undergoing chemotherapy since June 16.
A benefit concert for Carlo is scheduled on July 17 and 18 (Friday and Saturday) at the Music Museum featuring some of the music industry’s biggest names like Gary Valenciano, Zsa Zsa Padilla, Regine Velasquez, Nanette Inventor, Arnel Ignacio and Kuh Ledesma.
Tickets to the concert, titled STUX On You...you’ve got a friend, are priced at P1,000 and are available at the Music Museum.
“Carlo was required by his doctors to undergo two chemo meds for every treatment,” Edmund quoted Carlo’s sister-in-law Monette Amigo-Semilla, “and each treatment would cost P125,000 excluding hospital and professional fees.” Monette is helping promote the event that was organized by TUX and Freddie Santos.
More major artists who are friends of Carlo’s are expected to also perform in the concert.

"Male breast cancer is a rare condition, accounting for only about 1% of all breast cancers. The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2008, about 1,990 new cases of breast cancer in men will be diagnosed, and that breast cancer will cause approximately 480 deaths in men (in comparison, over 40,000 women die of breast cancer each year). Breast cancer is 100 times more common in women than in men. Most cases of male breast cancer are detected in men between the ages of 60 and 70, although the condition can develop in men of any age. A man's lifetime risk of developing breast cancer is about one-tenth of 1%, or one in 1,000." read more
