Lincoln's stage 2 breast cancer treatment fund

10 rounds of treatment are planned at the Fort Worth Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Lincoln was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in September. The oncology team at the Fort Worth Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Lincoln is 46, worked as a nurse until September, 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 the Fort Worth Oncology Institute 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 $4,950 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,000 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,350 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $600 Every share and every dollar helps. - Josiah
