I have had custody of her since 2012 when she was 6 months old. She had been very healthy and had never been really sick before 2020. She started showing signs of being sick around December 2020. Her stomach was distended and rock hard. The family Doctor stated that she was constipated and prescribed dietetics. This made her really weak. She ended up in the Pediatric ICU around April 2021. She was diagnosed with Leukemia. It was Acute Myeloid Leukemia. This is stage 2. Her stomach wasn’t hard because of constipation, it was her spleen. Her spleen was absorbing all the cancerous white blood cells and blocking her stomach and bowels. She was essentially starving to death. She was in ICU for about 3 months. She was released, but her spleen was still large and could only eat Carnation Instant Breakfast. Eventually her spleen reduced in size and she started gaining weight. She was reduced from stage 2 to stage 1 Chronic Myeloid Leukemia or CML. It really felt like a win. She was prescribed Sprycel. It’s very toxic, but the only thing that works on Myeloid Leukemia. She’s been taking Sprycel for the last 3 years. Unfortunately, her levels are rising again even with the chemotherapy. I was recently told that she’s going to have a biopsy next month in October because her levels are going back up and she’s about to have to start Radiation therapy by Christmas. Her survival rate is at 8 years. This being said, this cancer is extremely rare and usually only attacks seniors, men in there 60s to 80s. It’s usually something else kills the patient before the cancer does. The hospital were Allison goes hadn’t had a case of AML in 14 years. This being said. She been prescribed Sprycel and has had to be increased to the maximum dose of 120mg and it’s extremely expensive. It’s $15,000 a month without insurance. This is crazy. It’s a life saving medication. This being said, these charges like this have nearly crippled my family financially. I’m a single father and I’ve had custody of Allison since she’s was 6 months old. Her mother hasn’t seen her in 8 years. Furthermore, I’m my parents caregiver. My father is legally blind because of diabetes and my mother has dementia. You can see that this is all very hard. I have started selling my collection of uniforms to offset the charges that have arisen because of her treatment. I inherited these uniforms from my grandfather around 2000, I have also started to sell my coins as well. 100% of my sales go directly to my daughters treatments, doctor appointments, wellness, and comfort while she’s undergoing chemotherapy. She’s celebrated her 12th birthday because of you and people like you.
