Nicholas was diagnosed with prostate cancer in August. The oncology team at Birmingham Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Nicholas is 39, worked as a farmer 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 Birmingham Regional Medical Center 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $8,000 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,950 • Scans and lab work: $1,200 • Transport to Birmingham Regional Medical Center: $870 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $380 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,600 Thanks for reading all this.
