Melinda Miller, along with the help of her husband, Michael Miller are currently battling stage three diffused large B cell Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. It was diagnosed when doctors found a tumor in her abdomen the size of a soft ball.
Many people know Michael Miller as the past director of the now defunct American Musical Theater of San Jose. Due to AMTSJ's bankruptcy in December of 2008, Michael was left without a job and health insurance. While pursuing another job, Michael and Melinda decided to purchase an interim "Catastrophic Insurance Policy" and it was shortly after this time that Melinda was diagnosed.
Unfortunately, "Catastrophic Insurance" does not cover most of the costs of Melinda's treatment, labeling them as "outpatient services", leaving Michael and Melinda to battle the insurance company as well as the cancer.
Please help us this year by giving what you can and attending of Divas For Life 2010, which will be presented at San Jose Rep in downtown San Jose on June 28th at 7 PM.
