Help Jocelyn through 10 rounds of treatment for prostate cancer

Supporting Jocelyn through prostate cancer: medication, transport to Sacramento Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.

Sacramento
Jocelyn was diagnosed with prostate cancer in April. The oncology team at Sacramento Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Jocelyn is 48, worked as a nurse until April, 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 Sacramento Regional Medical Center 3 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 $10,150 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $1,550 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $590 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,010 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Jaxon

      What exactly is the $10,150 for?

      • Jaxon P. CortezOwnerAnswer

        Sure. The biggest one is household costs while unable to work, $1,550. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Happy to explain more.

    • Declan E. Bowman

      Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Onitsha.

      • Emon Ratul Bhuiyan

        Thinking of you and your family, Jaxon. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.

        • Logan L. Jordan

          praying for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.

          • Babar Mubashir Bhatti

            Best of luck, Jaxon. Your post was clear and honest.
