Help Konstantinos through 12 rounds of treatment for thyroid cancer

12 rounds of treatment are planned at Thessaloniki Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Thessaloniki
Konstantinos was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in May. The oncology team at Thessaloniki Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Konstantinos is 53, worked as a primary school teacher 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 Thessaloniki Regional Medical Center 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 $4,400 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,300 • Scans and lab work: $660 • Household costs while unable to work: $440 Thanks for reading all this. - Charikleia

    So sorry you're going through this, Charikleia. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.

    • Fajar Rudi SalimQuestion

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Konstantinos

      • Charikleia Kalliopi VasileiouOwnerAnswerAddress verified

        Sure. The biggest one is chemotherapy and medication not covered, $3,300. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for asking.

        Rooting for you, Charikleia. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in Pietermaritzburg this morning. Thinking of Thessaloniki.
