Fighting thyroid cancer: help Aria afford treatment in Birmingham

Supporting Aria through thyroid cancer: medication, transport to Birmingham University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.

Birmingham
In July I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. My oncology team at Birmingham University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 27, I worked as a construction supervisor until July, 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 Birmingham University Hospital 2 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 $8,150 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,900 • Scans and lab work: $1,300 • Transport to Birmingham University Hospital: $620 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $530 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,800 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
