Dr Cecilio Eck Recovering After Successful Surgery

There’s good news for Dr. Cecilio Eck as he continues to battle cancer: his shoulder reconstruction surgery was a success.

The operation was completed last week in Richmond, Virginia. According to an update from his family, everything went smoothly and on time, and Dr. Eck did very well during the procedure. He is now in recovery.

The surgery is the latest milestone in Dr. Eck’s ongoing fight against stage 4 biliary tract cancer, diagnosed one year ago. In a recent video, he shared that he has undergone radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy since receiving a prognosis of six months to two years from three oncologists.

Dr. Eck said the surgery was made possible through World Paediatrics and the Milagros Team, who provided the procedure free of cost.

“Please continue to pray for a speedy and complete recovery as he enters this next phase of healing,” the family said.
