Fighting stage 3 ovarian cancer: help Ezra afford treatment in Leeds
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Leeds Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇬🇧 Leeds, England, United Kingdom1,989 views
In February I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. My oncology team at Leeds Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in May. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 43, I worked as a bakery worker until February, 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 Leeds Regional Medical Center 4 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $10,150 goes:
• Transport to Leeds Regional Medical Center: $710
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,250
• Scans and lab work: $900
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $290
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thinking of you and your family, Ezra. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Ezra. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Stay strong. Hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Berlin.
