Fighting early-stage lung cancer: help Jaxon afford treatment in Newcastle
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Newcastle University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇦🇺 Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia7,215 views
Jaxon was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in January. The oncology team at Newcastle University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in March. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Jaxon is 54, worked as a primary school teacher until January, 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 Newcastle University Hospital 5 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $8,000 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,850
• Scans and lab work: $800
• Transport to Newcastle University Hospital: $940
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $520
• Household costs while unable to work: $890
Glad we found this place.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Jaxon?
Thank you. If you're in Newcastle I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
Thanks for sharing this, Logan. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Wishing you the best, Logan. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 12 people at work
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update. God bless!
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jaxon
Chemotherapy and medication not covered is $4,850 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
Thanks for sharing this, Logan. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 30 people at work. Take care.
how is Jaxon doing now?
So sorry you're going through this, Logan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Radom donated after I showed her your page.
Shared it with a few friends. Love from Kraków.
Good luck. Get well soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
Wishing you the best, Logan. Wishing Jaxon a smooth procedure and a full recovery. God bless.
Hope things get better soon, Logan. Your post was clear and honest. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
