Leonid's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund

6 rounds of treatment are planned at Kharkiv University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Kharkiv
In August I was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer. My oncology team at Kharkiv University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 29, I worked as a construction supervisor 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 Kharkiv University Hospital 3 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 $1,450 goes: • Transport to Kharkiv University Hospital: $145 • Scans and lab work: $120 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,185 If you're reading this, thank you. - Leonid
