Standing with David: stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment costs

Supporting David through stage 3 ovarian cancer: medication, transport to Los Angeles University Hospital, and living costs while He cannot work.

David was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in September. The oncology team at Los Angeles University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in January. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. David is 26, worked as a tailor until September, 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 Los Angeles 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $13,050 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,750 • Scans and lab work: $1,250 • Transport to Los Angeles University Hospital: $620 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $910 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,520 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Hyderabad.

      Hope it all works out, Amber. Your post was clear and honest. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Augsburg.
