Carol's prostate cancer treatment fund

Supporting Carol through prostate cancer: medication, transport to Leeds University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.

Leeds
In December I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. My oncology team at Leeds University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in March. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 29, I worked as a primary school teacher 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 Leeds University Hospital 3 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 $6,250 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,300 • Scans and lab work: $600 • Transport to Leeds University Hospital: $810 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $670 • Household costs while unable to work: $870 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Carol

        best of luck, Carol. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
