Fighting a rare sarcoma: help Cian afford treatment in Kilkenny

Supporting Cian through a rare sarcoma: medication, transport to the Kilkenny Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.

Kilkenny
Cian was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in July. The oncology team at the Kilkenny Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Cian is 25, worked as a bakery worker until July, 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 Kilkenny 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $7,250 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $780 • Scans and lab work: $1,400 • Household costs while unable to work: $2,050 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,020 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Tara
