Quinn's stomach cancer treatment fund

Supporting Quinn through stomach cancer: medication, transport to Edinburgh Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.

Edinburgh
Quinn was diagnosed with stomach cancer in April. The oncology team at Edinburgh Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Quinn is 52, worked as a tailor until April, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Edinburgh Cancer Centre 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $6,950 goes: • Transport to Edinburgh Cancer Centre: $520 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,450 • Scans and lab work: $1,050 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,930 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

      Is transport to Edinburgh Cancer Centre the biggest cost or is there more coming?
