Madelyn's kidney cancer treatment fund

In May I was diagnosed with kidney cancer. My oncology team at Manchester University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in August. I was told to expect about 12 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 51, I worked as a bakery worker until May, 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 Manchester University Hospital 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $9,750 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $1,600 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,000 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $340 • Transport to Manchester University Hospital: $810 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
