Fighting stage 3 ovarian cancer: help Dylan afford treatment in Los Angeles

Supporting Dylan through stage 3 ovarian cancer: medication, transport to Los Angeles Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.

Los Angeles
In August I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. My oncology team at Los Angeles Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 55, I worked as a shop owner until August, 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 Los Angeles Cancer Centre 5 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $7,300 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $1,550 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,250 • Transport to Los Angeles Cancer Centre: $500 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Dylan

Updates from Dylan

  1. Update from Los Angeles: I made the first payment toward transport to Los Angeles Cancer Centre. We're at 12% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Small update. $4,103 so far, the plan for chemotherapy and medication not covered is now scheduled.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 74% funded and I made the first payment toward household costs while unable to work.
