Help with Medical Bills and Funeral Costs
Hi my name is Susan and I am Michelle's best friend of 20+ years and have been by her side through 2 sperate breast cancer diagnosis and ovarian cancer. Now Michelle is facing ANOTHER CANCER FIGHT. On May 13, 2021 she was diagnosed again with STAGE 4 COLON CANCER. Michelle is a fighter but another cancer is going to take a toll on her and her family financially. She started chemo treatments a week ago and they stopped them because they want to start aggressive radiation treatments. She will now have everyday treatments for the next 6 weeks and then start chemo treatments again after that. The financial cost is HUGE!!! Every treatment there is a copay, blood draw, doctors visit, etc. Basically every test or visit comes with a cost. There is also the cost of the initial deductible of starting chemo in the amount of $3000. The doctors wanted that amount up front but thankfully was able to start a payment plan (not what they wanted but what they thought they could do every month). She is not able to work fulltime like she was doing and now requires our assistance. I want to be able to take away some of the financial burden so she can concentrate on getting well and BEATING STAGE 4 COLON CANCER. She has the emotional support of her family and friends, but the biggest hurdle is the financial burden. No one should ever have to figure out if they can pay their house payment or get cancer treatment.
