Fighting thyroid cancer: help Viktor afford treatment in Kyiv

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

Viktor was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in December. The oncology team at the Kyiv Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Viktor is 47, worked as a taxi driver until December, 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 Kyiv 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,250 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $125 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $930 • Transport to the Kyiv Oncology Institute: $195 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Oksana

  • I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Lapu-Lapu

    • Best of luck, Oksana. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.

      • Sending love, Oksana. Hope the doctors have good news. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care

        • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Viktor.

          • Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team comes first ($125) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. It helps to be asked.

        • Hope it all works out, Oksana. Hope the doctors have good news.
