Angela's cervical cancer treatment fund
Supporting Angela through cervical cancer: medication, transport to Sheffield Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom2,414 views
In August I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. My oncology team at Sheffield Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in December. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 57, I worked as a primary school teacher 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 Sheffield 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 $9,850 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $1,100
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,500
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,800
• Transport to Sheffield Cancer Centre: $450
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Wanted to say thank you properly. 7% funded and we've started the first stage. - Angela
Thank you all. We're at 17% now ($1,670). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts.

Hope things get better soon, Angela. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
Sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Lagos so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope December is when things finally get easier.
