Help Gary Wattman Through Chemo
Donation protected
I've started a fresh campaign to help Gary through his battle with Multiple Myeloma. Here's the latest from Gary:
"I became immune to my last two chemo treatments so we started a new drug called Kyprolis. Google it if you want but be aware I am NOT getting the ugly side effects it talks about.
"This drug is a precursor to immunotherapy and that will be the next protocol as it comes out of trials. President Jimmy Carter was treated for inoperable brain cancer with immunotherapy and there now is no sign of cancer in him. SO there is actually, for the first time ever, a cure for Multiple Myeloma on the horizon.
"The bad news is that the Kyprolis is $1925.40 a treatment and I am on my second treatment. Again the bad news, my Medicare will not pay for this treatment so I have to find a way to cover it. My Dr. Is a great guy and is forging ahead and is not worried about the payments now, but I had to sign papers that say I am responsible for the money to pay the bills.
"I will be getting four more treatments after this so you can see the bills are going to mount up. Then four more after that..YIKES!"
