Help Deborah through 12 rounds of treatment for multiple myeloma
Deborah is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
Anywhere in the world3,620 views
Deborah was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in March. The oncology team at the Leicester Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Deborah is 44, worked as a tailor until March, 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 Leicester Oncology Institute 5 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 $7,550 goes:
• Transport to the Leicester Oncology Institute: $920
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,800
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $480
• Scans and lab work: $1,350
Thanks for being kind about this.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Deborah.
Transport to the Leicester Oncology Institute is $920 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.
Rooting for you, Liam. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Cần Thơ but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Leicester!
Hope things get better soon. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Alexandria
Hope the doctors have good news. After 22 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Good luck, Liam. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
