David's stomach cancer treatment fund

Supporting David through stomach cancer: medication, transport to Albany Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.

Albany
In February I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. My oncology team at Albany Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in April. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 42, I worked as a bank teller until February, 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 Albany Cancer Centre 4 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 $5,850 goes: • Transport to Albany Cancer Centre: $680 • Scans and lab work: $1,250 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $550 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,370 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - David
