DIAGNOSIS: Bone and upper right arm soft tissue sarcoma. Surgery was 6/23/2022

DATE OF DIAGNOSIS: 6/8/2022

PHYSICIAN: Felasfa M. Wodajo, MD

HOSPITAL: Inova Fairfax, Fairfax, VA

THE NEED:
Dear Finish Sarcoma,

I feel we are still in shock as we just had surgery yesterday (6/23/2022) and “it was not good” and our doctor is “worried.” We have additional tests that we should find the results on this Wednesday. Her surgery was over 4 hours and incision over 6″. The Doctor anticipated a 1 hour and 1″… so needless to say, it was a horrible day.

Our daughter is a bright, thoughtful and sweet 16 year old who love Theater and the Arts. She is one of the kindest souls you’d ever meet!

I would like to take her to a play and/or help pay our medical bills please. We are not a wealthy family, but we do have hope and faith.

We support our veteran community with volunteering for Warrior Canine Connection as other veteran-centric efforts.

I think I’m rambling on here….Thank you for showing us support through your Organization! We are scared as heck…and are hoping for a successful end result! Thanks for being there! Mike

DIAGNOSIS: Myxoid Liposarcoma

DATE OF DIAGNOSIS: June 2017

PHYSICIAN: Dr. Edward Fox

HOSPITAL: Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, Hershey, PA

THE NEED:
My sarcoma diagnosis comes with a price tag of more than $2,000 per year (my deductible, plus co-pays for every office visit and test). My hospital won’t accept long-term payment plans and have sent me to collections, which they do every year. I make my monthly payments but my balance will always be more than I can possibly pay off with the deductible re-starting every year.

THE NEED:
my husband and I are currently seeking funds to help pay for some medical bills that are past due. My husband had taken time off work to help me so that set us back. My parents are mostly buying all are groceries due to not having the funds for it. I would be very grateful for some assistance.
