Johan's colon cancer treatment fund

Johan is facing colon cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Stockholm
In July I was diagnosed with colon cancer. My oncology team at Stockholm University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 38, I worked as a tailor until July, 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 Stockholm University Hospital 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $9,750 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,250 • Scans and lab work: $1,750 • Transport to Stockholm University Hospital: $500 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $750 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,500 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
