Fighting thyroid cancer: help Rebecca afford treatment in Dayton
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Dayton Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇺🇸 United States6,375 views
Rebecca was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in May. The oncology team at Dayton Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Rebecca is 53, worked as a tailor until May, 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 Dayton Cancer Centre 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $9,300 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,250
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $320
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,730
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,586 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Wishing you the best, Audrey. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this, Audrey. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Siliguri.
Good luck, Audrey. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
