I WISH Money to buy a chemotherapy drug to fight brain cancer

About a month and a half ago I was diagnosed with a brain tumor (anaplastic astrocytoma), and I need to buy a chemo drug to live.

We found it because family and friends noticed my weird behavior. I also had lost my natural sense of optimism which made me think I was losing my mind.

After a Halloween visit to the emergency room, a surgeon successfully removed my tumor, and now I need to go through chemo and radiation.

My doctors want to treat me aggressively because I'm relatively young (44), and like most people, I have a lot to live for--a wife and two young sons.

But the insurance company won't pay for the $10,000 ($8,750 through FamilyMeds) chemo drug unless it comes back and get yet another step closer to death.

My boys would really like to have their Dada live and be with them for as many years as God will allow, and I and they would be very grateful for your support in helping me to fight cancer and live.

Thank you and love to all,

Rob.

***Donations will be made to Wish Upon A Hero Foundation's Paypal and Credit Card account. The Foundation will purchase the Chemo Drug directly from our corporate partner FamilyMeds who will ship it to Rob. Thank you for your support.***

• robanaplastic 7 months ago

  Hello everyone who granted my wish and to those who could only send words of encouragement--I have to say that I have been completely astounded by the generousity of complete strangers on WUAH, and I am eternally grateful for your support of me and my family. One of the benefactor(s) who was matching your gifts to me saw how well it was going early on and agreed to buy the initial dose of Temodar, my chemo, which I have to say is an amazing drug. I have been on it for about a week, and except for the first night, I have not been sick at all from it at all--medical science is amazing. Thanks to all of you, I can now take the medication for it's full course, and if it's as specific to my cancer as it is tolerable, I'll be able to beat this thing handily. Having said that, the radiation is taking it's toll on me and I am tired from it, but also thanks to you, I'll be able to fight my cancer without being quite as "sick as a dog" as most traditional chemotherapies make people.
