Over the weekend my brother and his family found out their youngest son Ethan (4 yrs old) has been diagnosed with Leukemia. I’m getting together a small fund raiser for our family and friends to raise money for the family since they have to drive nearly 2 hrs to Children’s hospital for his chemo treatments. What other options are out there for my brother and his family. Thank you for your help :)

acute leukemia

My mom was diagnosed with Leukemia in January and she’s since had to lose her job with not much other income. I’m wondering if anybody can help me find charities that will help her financially? She has applied and been approved for social security income but they will not start giving her money until August and she has no other income now. She has bill collectors calling every 10 mins.

Just wondering if anybody else has found help or knows of a program that can?

Do you think it really can treat cancer? I heard that doctors can’t even detect cancer unless it multiplies to billions of cells.
Chemotherapy is just a poison in my opinion. They use people as guinea pigs: If its successful then awesome! If you die, too bad so sad on to the next patient-lets suck some money out!
What is your opinion on it, and whY??
My father died from lung cancer in 2001, and since then I have been trying to understand it. No, I have not personally had cancer, but it was close enough to watch him die at home because he went from 200lbs down to 80lbs and looked like an 10yr old kid in a matter of 8 months. If your body or immune system cannot handle it, you die sooner than you would from the cancer.
And of course doctors show concern for your health and welfare–they’re making $$$$ off of you so they have to do that. Just one shot used to cost 00 !
I’m sorry if I offended anybody who has/had cancer, that was not my intention. Maybe I’m just being very naive about the whole thing, but I’m 23 years old, and I had to lose my dad (he was 43) just 10 days after I turned 17 and I still happen to be very hurt and pissed off about it. I basically let it go for a long time and just accepted it as it was, but I recently asked my mom to dig up all the info from the doctors & hospital from back then because I never got to read any of it. Maybe I didn’t want to..or they didn’t let me? But honestly I don’t think I would choose chemo if I found out I had cancer. Watching what my dad went through and all the side effects was just not worth it, only for him to think he would get better because the doctors encouraged him, and yet he died after just 7months of the treatments.

I’m currently part of a community awareness team for leukemia and we would like to meet actual patients. The past month, we’ve currently fund raised and donated money to UTMD Cancer Center’s Fund for Pediatric Leukemia Patients. Now, we want to give more. We want to meet actual patients and maybe hear their story and even give them a little gift from us. We want to spread hope and it would be an honor for us to meet actual survivors or patients.

If anyone could help us in any way, please let us know! We live in Houston, TX area.

How much does the drug cost for chemotherapy for leukemia? I am writing a letter to congress to persuade them to donate money to research leukemia for my biology class. please help!

I mean, you hear about breast cancer all the time, people trying to raise money and awareness, which I think is great. But you never hear about prostate cancer. Why is that?

my sister in law has been diagnosed first with lung cancer and then today with bone cancer how can we raise money to help with the treatments and to help with her bills. Her job she has worked at for 17 yrs is talking about letting her go.I live in texas can someone please help me with this.
can you put out donation containers without a license in the state of texas

My Aunt Kindra has AML Leukemia. She was in remission, but the Leukemia came back, and she might have breast cancer now too. I have tried going to my church and school leaders, but they won’t help. I need to start a fundraiser or something for her, she has a lot of bills, and understandable not enough time, energy, or money to help herself. Any ideas you have would help greatly.

My mom smokes and she coughs alot does that mean she has cancer in the lungs and how but we dont have money for a doctor to get it checked out so help please?
