Help me through 4 rounds of treatment for thyroid cancer
Andrew is facing thyroid cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom7,420 views
In June I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. My oncology team at the London Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 29, I worked as a bakery worker until June, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to the London Oncology Institute 5 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $8,250 goes:
• Transport to the London Oncology Institute: $1,050
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,750
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $450
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hang in there, Andrew. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best
