Ian's colon cancer treatment fund

Ian was diagnosed with colon cancer in July. The oncology team at Newcastle upon Tyne Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Ian is 39, worked as a construction supervisor 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 Newcastle upon Tyne Cancer Centre 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 $9,600 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,000 • Scans and lab work: $1,400 • Transport to Newcastle upon Tyne Cancer Centre: $860 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $280 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,060 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Hannah
