Help Mark through 4 rounds of treatment for early-stage lung cancer
Mark is facing early-stage lung cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
Anywhere in the world1,686 views
Mark was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in July. The oncology team at Bacolod Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Mark is 35, worked as a bank teller until July, 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 Bacolod Cancer Centre 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $2,050 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,250
• Scans and lab work: $250
• Transport to Bacolod Cancer Centre: $175
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $150
• Household costs while unable to work: $225
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
