Hi, I am Ashley, the daughter of Sam who was recently diagnosed with Follicular (Non-Hodgkin) Lymphoma.

The prognosis is that it is curable with chemotherapy. His treatments started last week 1/22/2024, unfortunately he had a severe reaction to the chemo and was taken by ambulance to the ER for multiple blood transfusions and monitoring.

The chemo that his body did not tolerate was a generic brand/biosimilar (Ruxience) of Rituxan. After a follow-up visit with his oncologist, they are going to try the name brand, Rituxan. This is expensive and insurance/Medicare will only cover 80%, making each treatment $1,000.

Those that know my daddy, know that he would never ask for help. This new treatment plan is a huge financial burden that I am hoping, together, we can help to ease.

I will continue to post updates on here through his treatment.

I cannot thank each of you enough for your help.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

Love,

Ashley
