Fighting cervical cancer: help Nathan afford treatment in London
Nathan is facing cervical cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom6,059 views
Nathan was diagnosed with cervical cancer in July. The oncology team at London Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Nathan is 27, worked as a primary school teacher 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 London Regional Medical Center 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 $10,000 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,000
• Scans and lab work: $1,700
• Transport to London Regional Medical Center: $1,100
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $280
• Household costs while unable to work: $920
Every share and every dollar helps.

I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 7 years in farming I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
Thanks for sharing this, Josephine. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of London
Thinking of you, Josephine. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. Take care
rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Bahir Dar.
Take care. Wishing Nathan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 29 people at work. Love from Lahore.
