Help Abigail through 8 rounds of treatment for stage 3 ovarian cancer

8 rounds of treatment are planned at Ottawa Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Abigail was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in February. The oncology team at Ottawa Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in April. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Abigail is 41, worked as a nurse until February, 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 Ottawa Regional Medical Center 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 $3,350 goes: โ€ข Household costs while unable to work: $980 โ€ข Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $490 โ€ข Transport to Ottawa Regional Medical Center: $640 โ€ข Scans and lab work: $1,240 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
