Reagan was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in May. The oncology team at Sydney Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Reagan is 56, worked as a construction supervisor until May, 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 Sydney 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $7,250 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $400 • Scans and lab work: $950 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,250 • Transport to Sydney Cancer Centre: $650 With deep gratitude, Maria

  • Sending good thoughts, Maria. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 8 people at work. Greetings from Makati.

    • Wishing Reagan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.

      • reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Gaya.

          keep going, Maria. Wishing Reagan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We're a small family in Leicester but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Sydney.

          • praying for you, Maria. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.

            • Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Granada

              • Praying for you, Maria. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. All the best.

                • Take care, Maria. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Gothenburg so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Sydney.
