Sebastian's cervical cancer treatment fund
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Manchester Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇬🇧 Manchester, England, United Kingdom4,285 views
In May I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. My oncology team at Manchester Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in August. I was told to expect about 5 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 57, I worked as a bus conductor 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 Cancer Centre 4 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 $8,100 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,250
• Scans and lab work: $1,050
• Transport to Manchester Cancer Centre: $370
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $690
• Household costs while unable to work: $740
Thanks for reading all this.

Stay strong, Sebastian. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Manchester!
