Jakub's cervical cancer treatment fund
Jakub is facing cervical cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇬🇧 Aberdeen, Scotland, United Kingdom7,851 views
In August I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. My oncology team at Aberdeen Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 10 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 36, I worked as a taxi driver until August, 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 Aberdeen Regional Medical Center 4 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $10,150 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $890
• Transport to Aberdeen Regional Medical Center: $650
• Household costs while unable to work: $2,100
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,510
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Jakub?
Thank you. If you're in Aberdeen I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
So sorry you're going through this, Jakub. Get well soon. I hope November is when things finally get easier. All the best.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Victoria so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Pune.
Wishing Jakub a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We're a small family in Rochester but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Rochester.
