Fighting prostate cancer: help Mykola afford treatment in Kharkiv

4 rounds of treatment are planned at Kharkiv Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Kharkiv
Mykola was diagnosed with prostate cancer in July. The oncology team at Kharkiv Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Mykola is 26, worked as a primary school teacher 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 Kharkiv Cancer Centre 4 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 $1,600 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $830 • Scans and lab work: $290 • Transport to Kharkiv Cancer Centre: $85 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60 • Household costs while unable to work: $335 Thank you for reading my story. - Galina

Updates from Galina

  1. We're at 26% thanks to 11 of you. I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($363 in total) the plan for chemotherapy and medication not covered is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 9% funded and I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts.

    Sending love, Galina. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
