Anthony's multiple myeloma treatment fund
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Shreveport Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Anthony was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in June. The oncology team at Shreveport Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Anthony is 56, worked as a bakery worker until June, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Shreveport Cancer Centre 5 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly.
We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $13,400 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,500
• Scans and lab work: $870
• Transport to Shreveport Cancer Centre: $1,250
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $780
• Household costs while unable to work: $2,000
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Praying for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Shreveport.
sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Take care
