"We will continue doing the best we can
until with God's help, we find a cure or a medicine
that will turn this terminal disease into just a chronic
one."
-Amanda Brown, 2005
As some of you have read in the previous November
7, 2005 entry, we have come up against an enormous
amount of expenses in order for me to receive additional
therapy which will, over time, rebuild my Immune system.
We are praying that these Infusions and extra supplements
will help make the Immunotherapy work that much better
and quicker. Unfortunately New Hope Medical treatments
are not covered under my PPO Insurance or Medicare
so the costs are due at the time of service. Below
is a rundown of the extra expenses based on twenty
days of treatments.
Initial Doctor Consultation: (A one-time fee)-$175
Venipuncture for blood draw or Infusion:($30 ea.)-$600
Follow up visits with Doctor:($100 ea)-$200
First twenty Infusions:(need 30 at least)($135 ea.)-$
2,700
IM Injection:($24 ea.)-$480
Monthly Supplement Total-$836
This total is only for the services listed above
and this amount will be needed to continue each month
of this treatment. $ 4,991. We are estimating that
I will need at least two months worth of this intense
Immunology therapy, totaling $ 9,982. We ask
for donations only out of pure necessity since we
have exhausted our Savings over the past year to fight
this Cancer.
May,2007:
It was so very hard going
through that time. We did the best we could. Amanda's Fight WILL
Continue.
Please help if you can. It will help save young lives!
