Campaign Story
Hello family, friends and anyone willing to help.
I am Dante Amoy, the loving husband of Vicky. I created this page to seek help in supporting my wife's fight in battling cancer. She is diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and already underwent chemotherapy for 6 cycles. She also had an operation in between cycles to drain the fluid found in her heart and one of her lungs. It’s an exhausting process so far with all the expensive tests and scans, not to mention the medicines, but we are not giving up.
Doctors recommended testing for biomarker to know if she is a candidate for targeted therapy.
She tested ALK positive. Among lung cancer patients, only 5% has this genetic alteration. Currently, her body is responding well to an ALK inhibitor drug which is Xalkori (Generic: Crizotinib). Unfortunately, this drug costs $110 (roughly Php 5,585.00) per capsule and has to be taken 2x a day (P11,170.00). We were able to register in a cancer patient support program that would allow us to get this medicine for free for 5 years provided that we complete 1 year prescription which costs around 1.9 million Philippine pesos.
Without a permanent job, it’s already very challenging for me to support the living expenses of my family including the education of our 2 teens. We would really appreciate any amount donated through this page. Everyday I see my wife with a lot of positivity. Vicky is a fighter and knowing that there are people out there who is willing to join and support her in this fight will make a huge difference. Thank you everyone and will try to keep you all posted on her progress.

Hello, praying for Vicky’s recovery. My Dad had cancer too. Encouraging you with this verse: “'Ah, Lord God! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you.”Jeremiah 32:17 God is with you, before, amidst, with and after you. May you find God’s comfort in this season. Praying for your whole family. God bless po!
