Fighting multiple myeloma: help Roman afford treatment in Tallahassee

10 rounds of treatment are planned at the Tallahassee Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Tallahassee
In June I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. My oncology team at the Tallahassee Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in August. I was told to expect about 10 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 25, I worked as a primary school teacher until June, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to the Tallahassee Oncology Institute 2 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $2,200 goes: • Scans and lab work: $720 • Transport to the Tallahassee Oncology Institute: $1,100 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $380 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Roman
