On March 13th I went into the Emergncy Room with no Health Insurance. I was diagnosed with Hairy Cell Luekimia, along with gram negative infections, enlarged liver and spleen, aclerated heart beat, with 6% oxygen. It took a team of over 20 doctors, the mayo clinic and Ohio State University, but I still alive. My case of Hairy Cell is potentially the most advanced case in the history of planet earth to get diagnosed and treated.
I was forced to turn down a great full time job, along with being forced to withdraw from school. My Mom has had to take a ton of time off work, we had to pay for all the precriptions at first. Eventually I was accpeted for badger care. Now co-pays are way beyond anything I will even be able to pay in my entire life. I need to eat a special diet, I am un-able to drive, all of these things have added up to a ton of cost, and having serious cancer there is no way to pay for them.
I never thought I would have to ask for money on the internet, but I do not know what else to do at this point.
As of right now doctors are still treating me but I get a multi-thousand dollar bill in the mail, daily. Even a dollar or two will help to pay bills and encourage me to keep fighting, even if you cannot donate, sharing this page can help a ton!
Please dont look at this as hand out, but as helping me to survive, when I am done with chemo treatments I plan on finishing school asap along with volunteering and donating (once I finish school) to help other cancer patients. Any money I recieve on here I plan on donating double to cancer research after finishing school.
