The family of Monroe-Woodbury graduate Chris Inglese launched a GoFundMe page<\/a> this week to help cover growing medical bills for his cancer treatment.<\/p>\n Chris, 27, was diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma, a rare and highly aggressive form of Non-Hodgkin\u2019s lymphoma. After four months of chemotherapy, the family learned on Jan. 20 that Chris\u2019 cancer did not go into remission.<\/p>\n \u201cHis next step is CAR T-Cell Therapy, a novel therapy that involves changing the genes within T cells to help doctors target cancer. For some people, this therapy may be beneficial in treating cancer, even after other treatments have failed,\u201d his sister, Brittany, explains on the GoFundMe page.<\/p>\n However, the new treatment may not be covered by medical insurance. In recent months, Chris had to put his career with American Express on hold due to his illness and lost his insurance.<\/p>\n \u201cThe medications alone for his cancer treatment are over $10,000,\u201d added Brittany. \u201cThis GoFundMe<\/a> page was created to assist in alleviating some of Chris\u2019s mounting medical expenditures not covered by insurance.<\/p>\n \u201cWe want Chris to be able to concentrate on defeating cancer without having to worry about this ever-mounting medical debt. Your gift will assist in lifting this load and bring us one step closer to a day when Chris is illness free.\u201d<\/p>\n To make a contribution to Chris\u2019 GoFundMe, visit: www.gofund.me\/ca667193<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n The family of Monroe-Woodbury graduate Chris Inglese launched a GoFundMe page this week to help cover growing medical bills for his cancer treatment.
