Standing with Clive: multiple myeloma treatment costs
Supporting Clive through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to the Half-Way Tree Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
🇯🇲 Saint Andrew, Jamaica4,372 views
Clive was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in March. The oncology team at the Half-Way Tree Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Clive is 35, worked as a hairdresser 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 the Half-Way Tree Oncology Institute 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 his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $2,900 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,250
• Scans and lab work: $470
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $180
I hope life is good to you.

You're not alone, Althea. Wishing Clive a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Springfield
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Clive
Sure. The biggest one is chemotherapy and medication not covered, $2,250. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Happy to explain more.
Good luck, Althea. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Sydney
