Maciej's kidney cancer treatment fund
6 rounds of treatment are planned at London Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom4,229 views
Maciej was diagnosed with kidney cancer in July. The oncology team at London Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Maciej is 39, worked as a bank teller until July, 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 London Cancer Centre 4 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 $7,100 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,750
• Transport to London Cancer Centre: $460
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,050
• Scans and lab work: $840
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thinking of you, Teresa. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Maciej.
Chemotherapy and medication not covered is $4,750 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.
Sending good thoughts, Teresa. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together
Sending strength, Teresa. Hope the doctors have good news. All the best
