Cancer Is Costly

As most of you are aware, I am receiving treatment and care from TX. I take an oral medication 4 times daily in addition to the other injection and infusions I receive. I speak with my Primary Dr. in Houston at least once or twice a week. And they are constantly keeping watch over my progress. This however does not come cheap. They have been absolutely amazing in working with us as far as payment goes. As of now, they foresee me being on this medication which I fully believe in, for the next 5 or 6 months. I am also paying OUT OF POCKET for the injection I receive for the bone mets. So here is the breakdown.


.Monthly costs for medication and managed care from Houston: $4,500



.Monthly Injection: $1,900 (some of which we hope to be refunded within the next 6 months)

A total of $6,400

This is staggering, I know! Which is why my family and friends have so graciously given their time to coordinate numerous benefits and fundraisers! Our latest being an Auction Nov 5th!



I have been troubled lately by all of the "Pink" products lining the shelves EVERYWHERE. I realize people are meaning to genuinely be working toward a "Cure" when they purchase these products. However, the sad truth is that a LARGE portion of the proceeds don't go towards research or supporting Cancer in any form in "most" cases. This is disturbing and unforunate to think that our hard earned dollars are not being used for the purpose we believe they are. So my plea is this, before you give of your time or money do your research. Make sure that you are giving to and supporting a worthy cause.




This brings me to my next point. Support someone you know directly if you can. There are many individuals out there testing the waters and searching for their own "Cure", when others have "given up" on them. Why not support someone locally?


Here is the information about the Auction coming up! I would greatly appreciate your support in forwarding this information and coming out if you can!
