Daniel's colon cancer treatment fund
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Leeds Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom6,365 views
In August I was diagnosed with colon cancer. My oncology team at Leeds Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 24, I worked as a bus conductor 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 Leeds Regional Medical Center 2 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 $4,300 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $760
• Transport to Leeds Regional Medical Center: $300
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,900
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $340
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Leeds.
hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. I hope November is when things finally get easier. All the best.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Orlando.
