Andrea Summers needs your help. And so do her kids, Olivia (7) and Waylon (2), as well as her husband Mike. Andrea (43) is battling breast cancer and is in for the fight!

 

On July 29th, 2021 Andrea was diagnosed with an aggressive invasive ductal carcinoma (breast CA). She was able to line up multiple oncology appts for 2nd and 3rd opinions at City of Hope and Hoag and underwent a lumpectomy at Hoag Hospital on August 23rd. After several genetic tests, it was recommended to start chemotherapy on October 11th (4 rounds over 12 weeks) followed by 6-8 weeks of Radiation. Andrea is doing well and fully recovered from her surgery.

 

Many of her treatments are not covered under insurance, that's where we fit in. Andrea and her family are burdened with significant out of pocket expenses for her continued cancer treatments.

 

Andrea, Olivia, Waylon , and Mike appreciate everyone’s help, flowers, Grubhub, phone calls, thoughts, and prayers. Please consider helping Andrea and her family cover these additional costs. The donations will go directly to supporting her monthly treatments battling cancer.

 

Please give what you can and share this message! Thank you for joining the Orange County Fire Authority Chief Officers Association in supporting the Summers family cancer battle and helping save Andrea.
