Fighting stage 3 ovarian cancer: help Denise afford treatment in Cardiff

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

Cardiff
Denise was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in November. The oncology team at Cardiff Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in March. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Denise is 55, worked as a hairdresser until November, 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 Cardiff 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $7,700 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,600 • Scans and lab work: $930 • Transport to Cardiff Cancer Centre: $310 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $480 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,380 Thank you so much.
