Dear friends.  It is with great reluctance I post this and thank you for viewing.   Yes, I am reaching out for financial assistance. 

Recently  I was Diagnosed with Birketts Lymphoma, stage 4, in early August of 2016.   I had been under going in patient hospital based chemotherapy at Torrance Memorial.  My first stay was 36 days, 3 more treatmentsh each with 2 week hospital stays.  A couple of stays for side effects too.  final chemotherapy was fortunately only 7 days, two weeks prior to Christmas .  Total stay was 107 days.

Was fortunate to seemingly been clear of cancer.  I returned to work in February.   In early June  2017, I fell off a ladder while trimming a tree, yes, stupid.   I seemingly hurt my shoulder,  but a MRI showed something else.  A biopsy and scans confirmed that my Burkitts had returned. 

My current treatment is additional chemotherapy , a different type, that I just started,  4 rounds, 3 weeks apart,  for  5 days each, barring any complications. 

While I have insurance, I still have $10,000.00 In copay & deductible expenses.   Due to medication, treatments & side effects, Iam not able to work or drive.  I have been taking Uber to /from Dr's appointments (UCLA & Torrance Memorial ) & hospital stays.

Once completed with chemotherapy at Torrance  Memorial, I will be  off to 5 weeks at Ronald Reagan UCLA for a stem cell transplant. 

While the ending prognosis is good,  it is still going to be a long 8 months,  and not particularly fun.   

I am  reaching out, as most know I am kinda private about my personal life,  but any all assistance is tremendously appreciated,  as are prayers!
