Caroline's prostate cancer treatment fund
Supporting Caroline through prostate cancer: medication, transport to Belfast Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She cannot work.
Anywhere in the world1,937 views
In May I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. My oncology team at Belfast Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in August. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 57, I worked as a hairdresser until May, 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 Belfast Regional Medical Center 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $10,300 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,500
• Scans and lab work: $1,050
• Transport to Belfast Regional Medical Center: $470
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $550
• Household costs while unable to work: $730
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Caroline?
Thank you. If you're in Belfast I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Wishing you the best, Caroline. Wishing Caroline a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
What's already covered and what's the $10,300 for?
Your post was clear and honest. After 6 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Hope it all works out, Caroline. Hope the doctors have good news. Take care.
Hope it all works out, Caroline. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
Wishing you peace. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
