4 rounds of treatment are planned at Dallas University Hospital; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.

Allison was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in August. The oncology team at Dallas University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Allison is 27, worked as a taxi driver until August, 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 Dallas University Hospital 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 $12,150 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $1,700
• Transport to Dallas University Hospital: $730
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $710
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $9,010
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
Updates from Roman

Hope things get better soon. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Dallas
sending good thoughts, Roman. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Thinking of you and your family. Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Hope things get better soon, Roman. Wishing Allison a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Birmingham.
