Help Maksym through 6 rounds of treatment for multiple myeloma

6 rounds of treatment are planned at Novosibirsk Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Novosibirsk
Maksym was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in October. The oncology team at Novosibirsk Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in January. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Maksym is 46, worked as a tailor until October, 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 Novosibirsk Cancer Centre 4 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 $2,450 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $165 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,750 • Transport to Novosibirsk Cancer Centre: $175 • Scans and lab work: $360 Every share and every dollar helps. - Anna
