Leah's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund

In December I was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer. My oncology team at the London Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in February. I was told to expect about 10 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 32, I worked as a tailor until December, 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 the London Oncology Institute 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 $6,000 goes: • Transport to the London Oncology Institute: $710 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,900 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $390 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Leah
