Philip's Fight: Kick Cancer's Butt

Philip is currently waiting for a bone marrow donor and to begin a bone marrow transplant.  At that time, Phillip and his family will be at Children's Hospital for 6 weeks during the transplant. 

We are raising money for hospital expenses and care during and following treatment.  This includes hospital parking, meals, medical expenses and loss of income while Philip's family stays at the hospital. This is a long process, but we are fighting one day at a time. 

If you would prefer to mail a check, you can send it to Jean Allen 185 Winter Street Walpole, MA 02081.

For more information about the transplant, visit http://www.danafarberbostonchildrens.org/centers-and-programs/stem-cell-transplant-center/what-to-expect.aspx



This is a letter from his doctor at Mass General

November 1, 2016

Philip Lippolis is a 10 year old male who was diagnosed with relapsed leukemia last week.  Phillip is being cared for in the Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Clinic at Mass General Hospital for Children. He was initially diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in November 2012 and completed treatment in March of this year.  Phillip is now undergoing induction therapy with chemotherapy.  Once the first month of treatment is completed and his remission status is determined, we will be able to plan out what further treatment would be best.  If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.  

Patricia A. Kent, PNP
