Fighting stage 3 ovarian cancer: help Robert afford treatment in London

6 rounds of treatment are planned at the London Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

London
Robert was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in September. The oncology team at the London Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Robert is 48, worked as a bus conductor until September, 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 the London Oncology Institute 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $11,450 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,750 • Scans and lab work: $960 • Transport to the London Oncology Institute: $370 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $840 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,530 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Sebastian
