Help Henry through 10 rounds of treatment for kidney cancer

Supporting Henry through kidney cancer: medication, transport to Los Angeles Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He cannot work.

Henry was diagnosed with kidney cancer in May. The oncology team at Los Angeles Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Henry is 58, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until May, 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 Regional Medical Center 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $8,300 goes: • Scans and lab work: $750 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $530 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,020 If you're reading this, thank you.

    Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.

      What exactly is the $8,300 for?

      • Robert MatthewsOwnerAnswer

        It's all in the list in the story. scans and lab work is the big one at $750, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Fair thing to want to know.

      Hope things get better soon, Robert. Looking forward to the next update. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best!

        Sending strength, Robert. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out.
