intervene on behalf of Teeja Johnson & request AETNA provide the life-saving medication Crizotinib she is being denied.

Created by E.M. on September 24, 2014

2 years and 3 months ago, Teeja was diagnosed with Stage 3 High Risk Neuroblastoma, and has been fighting hard to rid her little body of the "bad cells,"
After 11 rounds of chemotherapy, 2 major life-threatening surgeries to remove two neuroblastoma tumors, 62 rounds of radiation, numerous infections, immunotherapy, and antibody therapy. AETNA insurance company has denied Teeja the drug Crizotinib three times as it us considered experimental. The new treatment Teeja is doing is the ONLY option available at this time
Crizotinib has been scientifically proven to work against Teeja's tumors. If she is denied this drug, she is being denied a chance at life. The drug is very expensive
Let's let AETNA know that that they are denying a beautiful five year old child a chance at LIFE!
