Fighting stage 3 ovarian cancer: help Julia afford treatment in Sydney
Supporting Julia through stage 3 ovarian cancer: medication, transport to Sydney University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.
🇦🇺 Sydney, New South Wales, Australia1,906 views
Julia was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in August. The oncology team at Sydney University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Julia is 54, worked as a nurse until August, 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 Sydney University Hospital 3 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 $2,750 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,400
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $490
• Scans and lab work: $860
Glad we found this place.

Sending love, Andrew. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Sydney.
You're not alone, Andrew. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Vigo.
Wishing you the best, Andrew. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Da Nang.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Laval this morning. Thinking of Sydney.
You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Sydney
