Fighting prostate cancer: help Wendy afford treatment in Belfast

10 rounds of treatment are planned at Belfast Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Belfast
In July I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. My oncology team at Belfast Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 43, I worked as a bakery worker 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 Belfast Regional Medical Center 2 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 $8,550 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,500 • Scans and lab work: $640 • Transport to Belfast Regional Medical Center: $880 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $300 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,230 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Wendy
