Fighting thyroid cancer: help Logan afford treatment in Philadelphia

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

Philadelphia
In September I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. My oncology team at Philadelphia University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in December. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 34, I worked as a bank teller until September, 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 University Hospital 3 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 $9,650 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,750 • Scans and lab work: $680 • Transport to Philadelphia University Hospital: $740 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $670 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,810 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Logan
