Fighting prostate cancer: help Daniel afford treatment in London

10 rounds of treatment are planned at the London Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

London
Daniel was diagnosed with prostate cancer in August. The oncology team at the London Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Daniel is 43, worked as a bakery worker until August, 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 the London Oncology Institute 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $3,550 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $500 • Scans and lab work: $1,000 • Transport to the London Oncology Institute: $820 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,230 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Emilia

    Best of luck, Emilia. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like

      Looking forward to the next update. After 23 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Jakarta Selatan

            I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of London.
