Fighting stage 2 breast cancer: help Jackson afford treatment in Liverpool
Supporting Jackson through stage 2 breast cancer: medication, transport to Liverpool University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom1,468 views
Jackson was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in January. The oncology team at Liverpool University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Jackson is 46, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until January, 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 Liverpool University Hospital 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $4,550 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $250
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,700
• Scans and lab work: $850
• Transport to Liverpool University Hospital: $750
Thank you so much.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jackson
It's all in the list in the story. nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is the big one at $250, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
