I wanted to share some information with you about a brave young lady. Her name is Allex. She’s 17 and lives in the Seattle area. Last November Allex was diagnosed with a type of cancer called Adenocarcinoma Stage 4. This means the endocrine system (hormones, adrenal glands, pancreas,
etc.) is used to transport cancer to various locations of the body.
This type of cancer is EXTRAORDINARILY rare in healthy young adults.
When she was first diagnosed, doctors discovered tumors in her lungs
(the source), multiple bone locations (5), the spine (2), and the brain
(9) and gave her a prognosis of 8-10 months. She has been going
through both chemotherapy and radiation since her diagnosis.
I created a blog for her and am also trying to raise money to help the family pay the cost of the last drug
available to improve and prolong Allex’s life. While the family has a
valid Rx and doctor approval, the insurance company is balking at
paying. At $180 per pill and 2 pills per day, that leaves a monthly
bill of $10,800.
Allex would also love to receive your prayers, love and email with words of encouragement. If you feel moved to donate to the cause, please click here. Thanks so much for your consideration.
