Standing with Asher: early-stage lung cancer treatment costs

Supporting Asher through early-stage lung cancer: medication, transport to San Diego Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.

San Diego
In August I was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer. My oncology team at San Diego Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 10 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 45, I worked as a bank teller until August, 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 San Diego Cancer Centre 5 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 $10,750 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,250 • Scans and lab work: $800 • Transport to San Diego Cancer Centre: $470 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $360 • Household costs while unable to work: $870 I hope life is good to you.

      Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 22 people at work.

        Thinking of you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
