Ian's stomach cancer treatment fund
Ian is facing stomach cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇺🇸 Kansas City, Missouri, United States2,315 views
Ian was diagnosed with stomach cancer in July. The oncology team at Kansas City Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Ian is 35, worked as a primary school teacher 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 Kansas City Regional Medical Center 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $6,700 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,550
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $370
• Scans and lab work: $640
• Transport to Kansas City Regional Medical Center: $1,140
Glad we found this place.

Sending strength. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
you're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from San Diego
Hope things get better soon, Cooper. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 27 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Kansas City.
What's already covered and what's the $6,700 for?
Wishing Ian a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Sending strength, Cooper. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't give up. Thinking of Kansas City
Best of luck. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
