Fighting stage 2 breast cancer: help Crystal afford treatment in Bowling Green

Crystal is facing stage 2 breast cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Bowling Green
Crystal was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in September. The oncology team at Bowling Green Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Crystal is 39, worked as a hairdresser until September, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Bowling Green Cancer Centre 2 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $3,800 goes: • Transport to Bowling Green Cancer Centre: $650 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $720 • Scans and lab work: $1,100 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,330 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
