Aly's Cancer Treatment Expenses


My wife and I have been married since 2005 and we have 3 boys who are ages 10, 6 and 4. We live in Nashville, TN on 7 acres close to my Mom and my sister and her family. 

I'm not one who likes to ask for money.  So for me to do this doesn't make me very comfortable but we need help. 

We were preparing to get ready to search and adopt a little girl to join our family when in October 2018 my wife, at 33 years old was diagnosed with stage 3 ER-positive breast cancer. In this last year she has fought this holistically, we have been to many breast surgeons and Oncologists to find the right fit. She has had surgery to remove her ovaries to stop more estrogen in hopes of shrinking the tumor. She is now on hormone inhibitors with a plan her Oncologist believes is the best route for shrinking the tumors so that a mastectomy is possible to finally get rid of this monster that's come into our lives over this last year. These hormone treatments are not cheap compared to chemo. Her Doctor said that Chemo would only have about a 10% chance of working on these types of tumors and these hormone treatments have a higher chance of shrinking them.

With all of that said her Oncologist and Breast surgeon have been working as a team. They are based in Knoxville and we're in Nashville. The trips to Knoxville obviously cost us each visit we have to go. She has had various MRI's, CT scans, blood work, etc. I have insurance through my job but it is a high deductible plan. I was able to keep up with these bills up until 6 months ago they're just piling up.  She's due for another MRI this month to check on the progress and see if the current treatment is working.  It seems like each day a new bill comes in from somewhere from someone for something. It's just too much. I am really praying this fund raising can help us.
