I spoke with Allen Rolleri about his family's experience dealing with multiple myeloma, a rare and incurable form of cancer.
The Rock Out Myeloma fundraiser takes place January 15, raising funds to support families facing the financial realities that come with long-term treatment.
On #NoVacancyNews, Allen explains what the diagnosis meant in practical terms, how quickly his family had to learn about the disease, and why costs outside of medical bills often become part of the challenge.
The conversation stays focused on awareness gaps, everyday expenses people don't anticipate, and how support often comes in specific, practical forms.
