Fighting cervical cancer: help Alexa afford treatment in London

12 rounds of treatment are planned at London Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

London
Alexa was diagnosed with cervical cancer in April. The oncology team at London Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Alexa is 54, worked as a nurse until April, 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 London Regional Medical Center 3 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 $10,350 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,250 • Scans and lab work: $1,050 • Transport to London Regional Medical Center: $370 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $560 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,120 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Henry

    What exactly is the $10,350 for?

      Sure. The biggest one is chemotherapy and medication not covered, $7,250. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Happy to explain more.
