Fighting thyroid cancer: help Cora afford treatment in Hamilton
8 rounds of treatment are planned at the Hamilton Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
Anywhere in the world5,625 views
Cora was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in March. The oncology team at the Hamilton Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Cora is 48, worked as a taxi driver until March, 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 Hamilton Oncology Institute 2 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $4,600 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $300
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,550
• Transport to the Hamilton Oncology Institute: $750
Thank you so much.

Take care, Noah. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
Stay strong, Noah. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Cora!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team comes first ($300) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.
Wishing Cora a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Kozhikode.
hope things get better soon, Noah. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Sydney but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Hamilton.
hang in there, Noah. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Hamilton
Wishing Cora a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best
