Luca's cervical cancer treatment fund

4 rounds of treatment are planned at London Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

London
In June I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. My oncology team at London Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in August. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 45, I worked as a farmer until June, 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 London Regional Medical Center 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 $11,550 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,250 • Scans and lab work: $1,200 • Transport to London Regional Medical Center: $760 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $590 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,750 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Sending good thoughts. Hope the doctors have good news. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Dortmund.

      What exactly is the $11,550 for?

      • Luca W. AlexanderOwnerAnswer

        Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. chemotherapy and medication not covered comes first ($7,250) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.

    • Eli W. Gonzalez

      Keep going, Luca. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.

        I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor in Swansea donated after I showed her your page. Love from Swansea

          Hope it all works out, Luca. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
