Mark's thyroid cancer treatment fund
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Cebu City Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Mark was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in August. The oncology team at Cebu City Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Mark is 40, worked as a hairdresser until August, 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 Cebu City Regional Medical Center 5 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 $2,100 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $165
• Transport to Cebu City Regional Medical Center: $210
• Household costs while unable to work: $270
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,455
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending strength, Kristine. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Sending love. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Sent it to 18 people at work
Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Cebu City.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mark!
It's all in the list in the story. nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is the big one at $165, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.
wishing you the best, Kristine. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Leeds!
sending love, Kristine. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
I hope things turn around soon. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Sending good thoughts, Kristine. This could happen to any of us. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care
Hang in there, Kristine. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Cebu City.
