Doris's stage 2 breast cancer treatment fund

4 rounds of treatment are planned at the Nottingham Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Doris was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in February. The oncology team at the Nottingham Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Doris is 45, worked as a taxi driver until February, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to the Nottingham Oncology Institute 4 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $8,700 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,500 • Scans and lab work: $810 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $390 I hope life is good to you. - Levi

Updates from Levi

  1. Thank you all. We're at 36% now ($3,104). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward scans and lab work.

  2. Small update. $2,156 so far, I made the first payment toward chemotherapy and medication not covered.
