Standing with Alexandra: stage 2 breast cancer treatment costs

Supporting Alexandra through stage 2 breast cancer: medication, transport to Fort Collins University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.

Fort Collins
Alexandra was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in July. The oncology team at Fort Collins University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Alexandra is 25, worked as a bus conductor until July, 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 Fort Collins University Hospital 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 $7,650 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,150 • Scans and lab work: $1,100 • Transport to Fort Collins University Hospital: $950 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $390 • Household costs while unable to work: $2,060 Every share and every dollar helps.
