Standing with Cameron: a rare sarcoma treatment costs
Supporting Cameron through a rare sarcoma: medication, transport to the St. Petersburg Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
🇺🇸 Florida, United States5,905 views
In August I was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma. My oncology team at the St. Petersburg Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 29, I worked as a nurse 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 the St. Petersburg Oncology Institute 4 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 $7,900 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $750
• Scans and lab work: $1,700
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,150
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,300
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thanks for sharing this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 12 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything
I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of St. Petersburg
