Fund Raising and General Info

We have had an outpouring of Fund Raiser ideas! I wanted to let everyone know what our plan is as far as that goes and "The Plan" in general. Brian and I will be heading out Easter Sunday to Houston. My consultation is Monday. I've been informed that if I choose to, I may be able to stay and begin my 3 week treatment stay in Houston. However the initial cost to cover all my geneitc testing and initial treatment is around $15,000. We want to make sure we are able to cover it before I plan to stay. I would obviously like to begin ASAP, but I think it makes more sense to get all the information we need, come home and get some fund raisers going and make sure certian things are taken care of. Brian needs to inform work of his plans and I need to make sure that my mom is well enough to care for Samantha while I am gone. She just had spinal surgery 3 and a half weeks ago and is fighting Pneumonia right now. So I dont want to overload her. Brian will plan to stay with me for the first week, and my sister is planning to come out for a week also. Once my initial treatment in Houston is over I will return home with my medication that will be administered daily. We won't know how long I may have to be on treatment. It all depends on how well I respond. It could be as short as 4 months or up to a year. As far as cost goes it could be anywhere from $4,000 a month to $11,000. Altogether total treatment may run anywhere from around $50,000 to upwards of $150,000, depending on the length and intensity of treatment. We will have a much better idea once we return from my consultation and will pass that info along. Once again I dont even know how to express my gratitude for all of your support! I love you all and feel totaly blessed!
