Standing with Michelle: acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment costs

4 rounds of treatment are planned at Los Angeles Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Los Angeles
Michelle was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in July. The oncology team at Los Angeles Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Michelle is 40, worked as a taxi driver until July, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Los Angeles Regional Medical Center 4 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $10,200 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,850 • Scans and lab work: $1,600 • Transport to Los Angeles Regional Medical Center: $770 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $670 • Household costs while unable to work: $2,310 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Adrian

            Thanks for sharing this, Adrian. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Aurora but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Los Angeles.
