Ali's thyroid cancer treatment fund
Supporting Ali through thyroid cancer: medication, transport to Alexandria Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.
Anywhere in the world542 views
In December I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. My oncology team at Alexandria Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in February. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 30, I worked as a hairdresser until December, 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 Alexandria Cancer Centre 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,400 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $870
• Scans and lab work: $90
• Transport to Alexandria Cancer Centre: $85
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60
• Household costs while unable to work: $295
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Alexandria.

Good luck, Ali. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
