Cooper's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund
Cooper is facing early-stage lung cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇦🇺 New South Wales, Australia824 views
Cooper was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in March. The oncology team at the Parramatta Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Cooper is 55, worked as a bakery worker until March, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to the Parramatta Oncology Institute 3 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly.
We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $2,200 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $1,300
• Transport to the Parramatta Oncology Institute: $490
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $410
If you're reading this, thank you.

Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care!
