Fighting early-stage lung cancer: help Isabelle afford treatment in Sacramento

12 rounds of treatment are planned at Sacramento Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Sacramento
Isabelle was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in January. The oncology team at Sacramento Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Isabelle is 27, worked as a nurse until January, 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 Sacramento Cancer Centre 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 $6,400 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,600 • Transport to Sacramento Cancer Centre: $790 • Household costs while unable to work: $2,010 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
