Fighting colon cancer: help Pamela afford treatment in Leeds

Pamela is facing colon cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Leeds
Pamela was diagnosed with colon cancer in June. The oncology team at Leeds Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Pamela is 42, worked as a bus conductor until June, 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 Leeds 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $6,300 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $350 • Household costs while unable to work: $680 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,270 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Wayne

    So sorry you're going through this, Wayne. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Winston-Salem this morning.
