Fighting early-stage lung cancer: help Kun afford treatment in Spokane

8 rounds of treatment are planned at Spokane University Hospital; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.

Spokane
Kun was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in July. The oncology team at Spokane University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Kun is 25, worked as a tailor until July, 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 Spokane University Hospital 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $10,000 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,250 • Scans and lab work: $1,500 • Transport to Spokane University Hospital: $650 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $400 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,200 With deep gratitude, Nan

      is there anything that isn't money that would help Kun?

        Thank you. If you're in Spokane I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.

      • Franco Davide MartinoQuestion

        Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kun.

        • Nan RenOwnerAnswer

          Sure. The biggest one is chemotherapy and medication not covered, $6,250. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Let me know if you want more detail.
