Courtney was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in March. The oncology team at Baton Rouge University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Courtney is 32, worked as a bus conductor until March, 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 Baton Rouge University Hospital 2 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 $10,100 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $1,850 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $270 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,980 I hope life is good to you. - Oliver

  • Keep going. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Nairobi!

    • what's already covered and what's the $10,100 for?

      • Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. household costs while unable to work comes first ($1,850) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid.

    • Keep going, Oliver. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together.

      • Sending good thoughts, Oliver. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Baton Rouge.

          Good luck, Oliver. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

          • Sending strength. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Love from Dhaka.

            • Keep going, Oliver. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care

                Thinking of you and your family, Oliver. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Düsseldorf this morning. All the best.

                • So sorry you're going through this, Oliver. This could happen to any of us. Take care

                  • Best of luck, Oliver. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.

                    • Wishing you peace, Oliver. Hope the doctors have good news. God bless.
