Hi everyone, I’m back at it again with another ask. I hate asking, but I’m entering the toughest (and undoubtedly most expensive) part of my health journey yet.
I was just diagnosed with a rare form of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, specifically known as Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma, ALK-Positive. I’ve already racked up more than a few doctor bills, and I haven’t even started treatment yet! It has taken 6 doctor appointments (regular and specialist), 2 x-rays, a CT scan, an ultrasound FNA needle biopsy, an urgent care visit, 2 emergency room visits, a brief hospital stay, and a surgical laryngoscopy with biopsy to even get a diagnosis. Next will be more tests, including a PET scan, to determine staging and the extent of where the cancer has spread in my body. Then, I will likely be doing chemotherapy.
To top this all off, I have been too sick to work for over a month, lost my job due to the number of days I missed, and I will be unable to work for the foreseeable future while I am in treatment.
Whew! That was a lot. Again, I hate to ask, but if you’re in a position to donate even a couple dollars, it would definitely be a huge help. All my love to you all, always❤️
