This Go Fund Me request is to help me with finances for my upcoming Stem Cell Surgery Transplant due to my illness, Mutiple Meyloma Cancer scheduled for August 2015.
I was informed by my Care Team on March 31, 2015 after a Bone Marrow Test due to my complaining of being tired and constantly out of breath that I had developed a Bone Cancer called Mutiple Meyloma which affects my blood and bones. Of course this was a major surprise for me a high energy full of life person.
Multiple myeloma is a blood cell (plasma cell) cancer. Cancer means the uncontrolled growth of cells. In multiple myeloma, the bone marrow produces excessive amounts of abnormal plasma cells. Unlike other cancers where there is always a tumor, these cancer cells are most often in the bone marrow and in the blood throughout the body, although a tumor can form in the bone or in soft tissues. Multiple myeloma causes many symptoms that may include: Bone pain, often in the lower back or ribs. Fatigue and weakness due to low levels of red blood cells in the blood (anemia)
Frequent infections and fevers due to fewer infection-fighting white blood cells. Kidney problems, which can cause increased thirst, increased urination, nausea, or constipation . Weight loss. Broken bones due to weakened bones
I started Chemotheraphy on April 14, 2015 for my condition. I was informed at that time I will need 6 cycles of Chemotheraphy , multiple testing , Mri's, Ultrasounds, Echogram , constant blood labs to help monitor my condition and I am in a stage with the disease to be a candidate for a Blood Stem Transplant Surgery after 6 cycles of chemotheraphy. I have completed 4 of the 6 cycles of chemotheraphy as of June 26, 2015. Next phase will be preparation for transplant which target date will be August 2015 for which I will be hospitalized a min of three weeks.
I appreciate any donation to this cause . This entire process has been extremely expensive . The many bills are mounting , Doctors Bills , increasing daily visits to the hospital for chemotheraphy, plus over 12 prescription medications to take including steroids and the chemotheraphy medicine, upcoming Stem Cell Surgery Preparation as well as long hospital stay .
Thank you in advance for your support.
