Dana Allen Brain Cancer Fund
Donation protected
My awesome & courageous sister, Dana Allen, was diagnosed with Anaplastic Astrocytoma Brain Cancer in the summer of 2015. She's had 2 surgeries & we thought she was on the road to recovery. In January, her MRI revealed new growth, sadly. She has 3 new brain tumors on her left temporal lobe. Grade 3.5.
Dana's heroic husband, Ken, had to quit his job in order to care for her, so money is Tight! She is on Medicare now, but because she is only 52, she must pay $800 per month for the health insurance, and her husband now is without insurance (he's working part time). They just moved into a low income apartment, which is also $800 per month. She has a large co-pay for her chemo meds, steroids, etc., but fortunately, her OPTUNE treatments ($20,00 per month!) are covered by Medicare. She has 2 granddaughters on the way, due this spring.
Dana continues to have a sunny disposition throughout her struggles communicating. She is a true inspiration, and she just keeps on keeping on. "I'm going to live to 90" is her mantra.
Please give what you can, and if you don't think $10 is enough, think again. It all adds up, and we appreciate any contribution.
Thank you for your consideration!
