Les Ostermeier needs help recuperating

Donation protected
I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a rare blood cancer of the plasma cells.  It is not currently curable, but treatments can prolong and improve life, and new medications and treatments are in development at this very moment.  I have great faith I will beat this cancer.  

I am blessed to have health insurance and we had enough savings to fund additional therapies and treatments not covered by insurance up until the beginning of December.  Now I am at a new phase of getting well again.  In January I will undergo a bone marrow transplant.  I will be hospitalized for approximately three weeks.  During that stay, my body will be taken down to absolute zero immunity and then built back up over the next several months.

Two therapies not covered by insurance and that I do not have funds or credit available to pay for are hyperbaric oxygen treatments and full body vibration (to help move lymph and remove dead cells).   I will be working with a Naturopathic MD with 10 years of oncology experience to get me back to health.  The shortfall I have is a total of $20,000.  If you are able to respond to this request with a donation to this fund, I am grateful.   Or, if you can share an uplifting thought about me into the universe or with God, that is also appreciated.

If you would like to talk, the best times to reach me are from 10AM to 2PM any day of the week.  [phone redacted].  Or, you are welcome to call the 1st CHOICE main office at [phone redacted].  I fully intend to be back to full force in the next six months.  

Thank you.
