Fighting early-stage lung cancer: help Jennifer afford treatment in Glasgow
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Glasgow University Hospital; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.
🇬🇧 Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom1,469 views
In July I was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer. My oncology team at Glasgow University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 57, I worked as a bank teller until July, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Glasgow University Hospital 4 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $2,250 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,650
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $270
• Transport to Glasgow University Hospital: $330
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
