Standing with Courtney: multiple myeloma treatment costs
Courtney is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

In July I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. My oncology team at Manchester Cancer Centre has planned 4 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 38, I worked as a construction supervisor until July, 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 Manchester 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 $2,750 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $290
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,750
• Transport to Manchester Cancer Centre: $710
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

hang in there, Courtney. Get well soon. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Medellín.
sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless!
So sorry you're going through this, Courtney. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Blessings
Good luck, Courtney. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Bucaramanga.
wishing you the best. Hope the doctors have good news. After 9 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
