Fighting early-stage lung cancer: help Danielle afford treatment in Cairns

Danielle was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in May. The oncology team at Cairns University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Danielle is 56, worked as a bank teller until May, 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 Cairns University Hospital 2 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 $2,800 goes: • Transport to Cairns University Hospital: $420 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $350 • Household costs while unable to work: $2,030 If you're reading this, thank you. - Russell
