Standing with Beau: multiple myeloma treatment costs

Supporting Beau through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to Nashville Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.

Nashville
In March I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. My oncology team at Nashville Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in June. I was told to expect about 12 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 39, I worked as a nurse until March, 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 Nashville Regional Medical Center 5 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 $6,700 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,350 • Scans and lab work: $990 • Transport to Nashville Regional Medical Center: $620 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $400 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,340 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Beau

            Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 7 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Nashville.
