Fighting thyroid cancer: help Yann afford treatment in Boulogne-Billancourt
Supporting Yann through thyroid cancer: medication, transport to the Boulogne-Billancourt Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.

Yann was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in August. The oncology team at the Boulogne-Billancourt Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Yann is 41, worked as a shop owner until August, 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 Boulogne-Billancourt Oncology Institute 2 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 $7,750 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,000
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $270
• Scans and lab work: $970
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,510
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Thiruvananthapuram but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Thiruvananthapuram.
Thinking of you and your family, Romain. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in Ankara but we're thinking of you.
Keep going, Romain. Wishing Yann a smooth procedure and a full recovery. God bless
Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 25 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
