Fighting kidney cancer: help Hazel afford treatment in Syracuse
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Syracuse Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇺🇸 Syracuse, New York, United States6,182 views
In July I was diagnosed with kidney cancer. My oncology team at Syracuse Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 24, I worked as a hairdresser 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 Syracuse Cancer Centre 5 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 $13,900 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $9,500
• Scans and lab work: $1,750
• Transport to Syracuse Cancer Centre: $760
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $480
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,410
Thanks for reading all this.
