Help Greyson through 6 rounds of treatment for prostate cancer

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

Greyson was diagnosed with prostate cancer in February. The oncology team at Los Angeles Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Greyson is 43, 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 him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Los Angeles Cancer Centre 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $9,150 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $970 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,500 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $680 Every share and every dollar helps.

Updates from Howard

  1. Update from Los Angeles: I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. We're at 26% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

    You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Breda.

      Keep going, Howard. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from San Diego.

        take care, Howard. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Madrid

            Thinking of you and your family, Howard. Hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
