Supporting Denise through stomach cancer: medication, transport to the Peoria Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.

Peoria
Denise was diagnosed with stomach cancer in April. The oncology team at the Peoria Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Denise is 40, worked as a primary school teacher until April, 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 the Peoria Oncology Institute 4 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 $14,300 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $9,750 • Scans and lab work: $1,650 • Transport to the Peoria Oncology Institute: $530 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $490 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,880 With deep gratitude, Gregory

  • what's already covered and what's the $14,300 for?

    • Gregory FlemingOwnerAnswer

      Chemotherapy and medication not covered is $9,750 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.

  • Hang in there. Hope you get there. Greetings from Dodoma.

    • Thinking of you, Gregory. Shared this with my family.

      • best of luck, Gregory. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 19 people at work.

        • Hope it all works out, Gregory. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. God bless.
