David's prostate cancer treatment fund
David is facing prostate cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom6,285 views
David was diagnosed with prostate cancer in May. The oncology team at London Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
David is 25, worked as a bank teller until May, 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 London Cancer Centre 5 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $9,650 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,150
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $630
• Scans and lab work: $1,600
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,270
Thank you so much.

Sending strength, Lillian. Hope this works out for you.
good luck, Lillian. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal. All the best.
keep going, Lillian. 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. All the best
Wishing you peace. Hope the doctors have good news. God bless.
