Martin Fuller was diagnosed with Prostate cancer about two years ago. At that time he was receiving medical assistance through the state. during that time he went through testing, surgery and a lot of doctor appointments. All of this was just to keep cancer under control. Even with this, his cancer progressed to stage 4 metastatic cancer(cancer in the bones). He was then placed on the cancer medication known as Xtandi. Xtandi is keeping his cancer from continuing to spreading to the rest of his body. Three months ago he was kicked off state assistance because between SSDI and his part-time job(he's not allowed to work full time), he made too much money. And unfortunately, affordable health care(Obama Care) will not cover this medication nor are we able to find affordable help and/or coverage. We have desperately looked for other assistance in paying for his Xtandi and have been able to find assistance to bring his cost down to just under 2k a month, down from 8k. And that is if he continues to qualify for the discount. Still not affordable for someone living on SSDI and a part-time job. My uncle is an amazing man who would do anything he could for others. He has worked with the disabled for over 20 years, took care of his mother as she became unable to care for herself, and was my support throughout my young adulthood and still is to this day. He has a profound impact on just about everyone, if not everyone, he has met even if it was just a smile and a brief conversation. He has one of those personalities that lights up a room even during trying times for himself. He is a devoted man of God no matter what has been thrown in his path. He is a true inspiration to me, my children and so many that he has been blessed to interact with. Please we are asking for any help that can be given to give us a little more time with a man that means so much to us and so many others. Thank you and may God bless you.
