Standing with Alexander: thyroid cancer treatment costs

4 rounds of treatment are planned at London University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Alexander was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in March. The oncology team at London University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Alexander is 39, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until March, 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 London University Hospital 4 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 $3,800 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $2,050 • Scans and lab work: $1,050 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $700 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

  • Hope it all works out, Sophie. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.

    • Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Awka

        Stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 28 years in accounting I know how hard it is to ask for anything.

        • You're not alone, Sophie. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of London.
