Alex's Fund for Cancer Treatment
Alex Urzua was diagnosed with Stage II Ependymoma Cancer in June of 2014. In September of 2014, a malignant tumor was removed from Alex’s spinal cord. In January of 2015, Alex was informed that he had another malignant tumor on his spinal cord, but this time the tumor is inoperable. Doctors have decided that the best course of action is for Alex to receive proton therapy radiation to treat the tumor. Alex’s insurance has denied their claim and several appeals for the proton radiation treatment. He is going to move ahead with treatment in December regardless of coverage. The estimated cost for treatment is $50,000.
Alex is a loving husband, a well-respected co-worker, and a gentleman. His humble personality has stopped him from asking anyone for help, so his friends and co-workers are banding together to raise the money he needs for this life-saving treatment. Getting Alex cancer-free will mean an immense amount to his friends. It will mean EVERYTHING to Alex and his wife.
