Local cancer patient Randi Heller is having a fundraiser at The Meatball Room on May 27th at 6 pm, a wine tasting event supporting her “road to recovery.”
Heller was diagnosed at age 30 in July of 2013 with Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
For the next 6 months she underwent five rounds of chemotherapy and five hospital stays lasting from 2-4 weeks each. In February of this year she went through a bone marrow / stem cell transplant procedure from an unrelated donor.
She relapsed this month and is currently in the hospital getting more chemotherapy and treatments.
Heller tells us:
My medical expenses are not fully covered. This includes deductibles, co-payments, prescriptions, doctor visits and hospital stays. The medical bills are insane.
Donations can be made at YouCaring.com.
West Boca News has not verified any of this information. However, it looks genuine to us.
