Fighting thyroid cancer: help Grayson afford treatment in San Jose

Grayson is facing thyroid cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

San Jose
Grayson was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in November. The oncology team at the San Jose Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in February. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Grayson is 55, worked as a shop owner until November, 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 San Jose 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 $9,000 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,550 • Scans and lab work: $1,500 • Transport to the San Jose Oncology Institute: $980 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $740 • Household costs while unable to work: $2,230 If you're reading this, thank you. - Emily

    hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
