Fighting stage 2 breast cancer: help Alexander afford treatment in Allentown
Supporting Alexander through stage 2 breast cancer: medication, transport to Allentown Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He cannot work.
🇺🇸 United States7,079 views
Alexander was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in March. The oncology team at Allentown Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Alexander is 43, worked as a primary school teacher until March, 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 Allentown Regional Medical Center 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 $11,600 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,250
• Scans and lab work: $1,450
• Transport to Allentown Regional Medical Center: $1,050
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $530
• Household costs while unable to work: $2,320
Every share and every dollar helps.

What's already covered and what's the $11,600 for?
It's all in the list in the story. chemotherapy and medication not covered is the big one at $6,250, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Ask me anything else.
