Standing with Addison: stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment costs
Addison is facing stage 3 ovarian cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Addison was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in March. The oncology team at San Diego Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Addison is 47, worked as a primary school teacher until March, 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 San Diego 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $8,000 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,000
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $740
• Scans and lab work: $1,260
If you're reading this, thank you.

what exactly is the $8,000 for?
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. chemotherapy and medication not covered comes first ($6,000) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
rooting for you, Jaxon. Shared this with my family.
Thinking of you and your family. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Vitória da Conquista this morning.
Hope things get better soon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of San Diego.
Hope the doctors have good news. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope July is when things finally get easier.
