Aiden's stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment fund
8 rounds of treatment are planned at the Scranton Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇺🇸 Scranton, Pennsylvania, United States2,911 views
In August I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. My oncology team at the Scranton Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 51, I worked as a cleaner at a hospital until August, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to the Scranton Oncology Institute 5 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $10,250 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,250
• Transport to the Scranton Oncology Institute: $700
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $330
• Scans and lab work: $970
Thank you so much.

Sending love, Aiden. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Khulna.
Hope it all works out, Aiden. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours.
Thinking of you, Aiden. Wishing Aiden a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
You're not alone, Aiden. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Rio de Janeiro.
Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best!
