| THE HOMECOMING OF A MODERN DAY HEROINE – NELIA HOLGADO |
Metro Washington D.C.- Sad as it may seem but it was a stark reality for Nelia Holgado – only 6 to 12
months to live with her end stage of mestatic breast cancer which has spread to her lungs and liver.
Nelia, after being informed that chemotheraphy and surgery did not work to heal her ailment, decided
to quit her fight against cancer and expressed her desire to go home. All she prayed for was for
someone to give her a plane ticket and a companion to bring her home safely to the Philippines. But
she got a lot more than what she asked for. Yvonne Horneffer of the Bicol Association in Metro
DC and a Fil-Am Nurse practitioner of the National Institute of Health brought Nelia’s plight to the
attention of the community.
