Fighting thyroid cancer: help Teresa afford treatment in London
Supporting Teresa through thyroid cancer: medication, transport to the London Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom8,462 views
Teresa was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in July. The oncology team at the London Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Teresa is 29, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until July, 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 the London Oncology Institute 4 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $9,500 goes:
• Transport to the London Oncology Institute: $920
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $620
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,000
• Scans and lab work: $960
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

You're not alone, Hannah. Get well soon.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near London!
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about transport to the London Oncology Institute, advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.
Keep going. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. Take care
sending good thoughts, Hannah. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of London.
