Fighting thyroid cancer: help Ethan afford treatment in Sydney
Supporting Ethan through thyroid cancer: medication, transport to the Sydney Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
🇦🇺 Sydney, New South Wales, Australia2,661 views
Ethan was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in March. The oncology team at the Sydney Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Ethan is 46, worked as a construction supervisor until March, 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 Sydney Oncology Institute 5 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 $5,300 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $880
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $720
• Scans and lab work: $700
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,000
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hope this works out for you. After 22 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. Take care
Stay strong, Aubree. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. All the best
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ethan!
It's all in the list in the story. household costs while unable to work is the big one at $880, I'll post a receipt when it's paid.
Stay strong, Aubree. Wishing Ethan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't give up. Love from Thiruvananthapuram.
Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Nairobi.
You're not alone. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Nairobi this morning.
Sending love. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
