Standing with Alexandra: stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment costs

Alexandra was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in May. The oncology team at Leeds Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Alexandra is 40, worked as a hairdresser until May, 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 Leeds Regional Medical Center 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $8,250 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,250 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $290 • Household costs while unable to work: $710 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Michael
