Fighting thyroid cancer: help Jameson afford treatment in Philadelphia
Supporting Jameson through thyroid cancer: medication, transport to Philadelphia Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.
🇺🇸 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States6,952 views
In June I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. My oncology team at Philadelphia Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 10 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 56, I worked as a nurse until June, 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 Philadelphia Cancer Centre 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $9,150 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $640
• Household costs while unable to work: $2,450
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,600
• Scans and lab work: $1,460
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
