Aaron's stage 2 breast cancer treatment fund

Aaron is facing stage 2 breast cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Aaron was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in September. The oncology team at London Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in December. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Aaron is 55, worked as a tailor until September, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to London Regional Medical Center 4 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly. We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $11,950 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,250 • Scans and lab work: $630 • Transport to London Regional Medical Center: $460 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $400 • Household costs while unable to work: $2,210 Thanks for being kind about this. - Wayne
